Introduction to the Catering Cloud

A Digital Solution in Just a Few Weeks

The Solution

Digital Workflows with the sizzly catering app intuitive, powerful, and customizable

sizzly the ideal solution for a modern, efficient school cafeteria operation, as ordering, payment, and billing processes are fully digital and seamlessly integrated. The school benefits from clearly optimized workflows, a noticeable reduction in administrative burden, and a high degree of flexibility when it comes to changes and cancellations—such as in cases of illness or last-minute absences. BuT subsidies, parent payments, and billing with the caterer are processed automatically, transparently, and without errors. Even special cases such as student exchanges, visiting students, or temporary users can be easily accommodated.

Its ease of use and high level of transparency have led to a very high level of acceptance among parents and students. As a result, the cafeteria operates so efficiently that significantly more lunches are served each day than in the past and than originally expected.
