Client Background

A leading catering company in the USA that handles multiple large-scale events simultaneously, involving chefs, packers, and quality control teams. The client needed a digital solution to manage recipe production workflows and ensure food preparation and packaging accuracy.

  Challenges

  • Manual, paper-based system to track recipe preparation and packing.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into production progress.
  • Difficulty tracking who prepared, QCed, or packed each recipe.
  • Time-consuming and error-prone reporting process.

  Solutions

  • Rheal developed a web-based Production Portal to manage and monitor recipe preparation and packaging activities.
  • Admin users upload event-specific recipe lists and assign recipes to chefs.
  • Chefs update each recipe’s status as In Progress, Cooling, or Completed and specify the number of containers prepared.
  • System automatically generates a unique barcode for each container.
  • QC users scan container barcodes to verify and approve completed recipes.
  • Packers scan party, bin, and container barcodes to track packing details.
  • Color codes are used to visually represent the status of each recipe (e.g., pending, in progress, cooling, QC pending, completed).
