Case Study: The Professional Nursery Kitchen delivers efficient, nutritious nursery catering with Civica Saffron

Saffron helps The Professional Nursery Kitchen deliver efficient catering services to nursery schools

The Professional Nursery Kitchen (TPNK) is a central production unit supplying breakfast, snacks, lunch and tea to 30 day nursery schools and plans to expand to 100 sites within 24 months. To manage growth they needed an end‑to‑end system for customer ordering, picking, distribution and billing plus recipe and menu management, so they implemented Civica’s Saffron solution.

Civica’s Saffron suite (Saffron Menu Engineering, Saffron Wellbeing Portal, Saffron Central and Saffron Reporting) gives TPNK recipe costing and menu nutrition control, a consumer-facing allergen/nutrition portal, daily ordering screens with production reports to prevent overproduction and ensure correct deliveries, and a comprehensive reporting library. The result is greater efficiency and data certainty, reduced manual data entry through supplier links, improved nutritional information for nurseries and more accurate, measurable ordering and production control.
