Case Study: Compass Group achieves faster menu planning and reduced food waste with Kellton

Compass Group cuts menu planning time to 30 minutes with Kellton

Compass Group India, a division of the world's largest contract foodservice company, faced a critical challenge with its outdated Cilantro 2 menu-planning platform. The system suffered from significant performance issues and functional gaps, and a hard deadline driven by a platform renewal necessitated a complete rebuild. This had to be achieved with fixed scope and cost, all without disrupting daily operations serving over 1,300 corporate sites. Kellton was engaged to modernize this essential platform.

Kellton rebuilt the application from the ground up, delivering the new Cilantro platform before the hard cutover date. The solution included migrating all existing data, closing performance gaps, and adding new capabilities like automated validation. As a result, menu planning time was reduced to approximately 30 minutes, calculation integrity reached 100%, and food waste was cut by 20-25%. Kellton continues to support the platform and develop new enhancements for Compass Group.
