How do I plan a weekly menu?

Plan dishes and portions for every day of the week – and print the menu for guests or for your team.

With the weekly menu you plan which dishes you serve on which day – with portions per meal and per day.

Your weekly menus

Open Menu Creator › Weekly menu. You see all weekly menus with their period and status. At the top you filter by status and period. The copy icon copies a weekly menu, for example for the following week.

Complete your weekly menu

  • Ongoing – the week is running.
  • Finished – the week is over.
  • Cancelled – the planning was cancelled.
