Katarina, the Operation Manager for the?schools, has been?working for SwissCanonica?for 5.5 years. When?SwissCanonica?began operations in Dubai, there were no specific requirements from the Dubai Municipality, but they wanted to work with a professional software provider in the region. They turned to Nutrical, a leading software provider, to ensure compliance with regulations and provide detailed nutritional information about each product.

Menu engineering was done based on recipe values, with a focus on providing nutritious and healthy meals to the students. Initially,?SwissCanonica?focused on grab-and-go meals, but they have since expanded to a 12-week menu. By the end of this year, they plan to provide nutritional value and allergy information for all the meals they serve, giving parents peace of mind and an opportunity to make informed choices about their children's food.
