FoodIQ: Smarter Menu Planning, Safer Food Operations

Connecting recipes, nutrition, allergens and menu planning in one intelligent platform.

Is every menu you serve safe, nutritious and on budget?

Managing food services across multiple locations comes with significant challenges. From maintaining accurate allergen information and meeting nutritional requirements to controlling costs and coordinating suppliers, food service teams must balance numerous responsibilities every day.

Yet much of this critical information remains scattered across spreadsheets, supplier documents and disconnected systems.

Introducing FoodIQ by Constellation Technologies — an intelligent food management platform designed to simplify operations, improve visibility and support informed decisions across every kitchen.

FoodIQ connects the essential elements of food service management, from ingredient selection and recipe development to menu planning, product verification and kitchen operations.

One Connected Platform. From Supplier to Plate.

1. Intelligent Recipe Management

FoodIQ simplifies recipe creation through a centralised recipe library supported by over 2,500 ingredients with FSANZ nutrition data.

Teams can develop and manage recipes with automated nutritional calculations, portion weights, cooking yields and allergen identification.

The platform also supports compound dishes, nutrition information panels and texture-modified recipes, including IDDSI Levels 3, 4 and 5.

By connecting ingredient data with recipe development, FoodIQ reduces repetitive manual work and supports greater consistency across food operations.

2. Smarter Menu Planning and Budget Control

Planning nutritious, cost-effective menus requires more than selecting recipes.

FoodIQ enables teams to create structured menu cycles ranging from one to eight weeks, organise meals by day and meal period, and monitor projected costs against defined budgets.

Built-in nutrition validation checks menus against sector-specific targets, while allergen visibility and flexible publishing schedules help teams coordinate menu planning across multiple sites.

The result? More informed menu decisions, better cost visibility and improved operational consistency.

3. Connected Allergen Management

Accurate allergen information is essential, particularly in healthcare, aged care and other environments where dietary requirements must be carefully managed.

FoodIQ automatically identifies recorded allergens from recipe ingredients and consolidates this information at the recipe level.

With editable allergen declarations and menu-level allergen visibility, teams can maintain more consistent information throughout the planning process.

This helps reduce reliance on disconnected manual records and supports safer food service practices.

4. AI-Assisted Product Verification

Reliable food information begins with accurate supplier product data.

FoodIQ combines digital label capture, AI-assisted information extraction and structured human verification to support product information accuracy.

Its verification workflow includes:

• AI-assisted allergen identification from supplier labels.
• Independent first and second reviewer checks (V1 and V2).
• Verification of ingredients, nutrition, allergens, origin and barcodes.
• Conflict resolution, re-scan requests and product history tracking.

By combining AI-assisted processing with independent human review, FoodIQ supports a more structured and accountable approach to product verification.

5. Centralised Multi-Site Management

For organisations operating across multiple kitchens, visibility and consistency are essential.

FoodIQ provides a centralised dashboard for managing products, recipes, menu cycles and site information.

With site-specific profiles, configurable permissions and role-based access, organisations can maintain greater oversight while supporting individual operational requirements.

Connecting Food Intelligence with Digital HACCP

FoodIQ extends beyond menu and recipe planning through integration with Constellation Technologies’ Digital HACCP ecosystem.

Menu information can flow into operational workflows, including allergen checks, endpoint temperature checks, meal ordering and compound dish tracking.

This creates a stronger connection between how food is planned and how it is prepared, monitored and served.

Why FoodIQ?

FoodIQ brings together the information and workflows that support modern food service operations.

For food service organisations, this means:

• Smarter planning

  Integrated recipe development, nutritional analysis and menu management.

• Better cost visibility

  Budget monitoring throughout the menu planning process.

• Improved allergen awareness

  Connected ingredient, recipe and menu allergen information.

• Structured verification

  AI-assisted supplier product verification with human oversight.

• Greater operational control

  Centralised visibility across sites and connected Digital HACCP workflows.

The Future of Food Operations Is Connected

Managing food services should not depend on fragmented information and disconnected processes.

By combining recipe intelligence, nutritional oversight, supplier verification and menu planning in one platform, FoodIQ helps organisations build a more consistent, informed and connected approach to food management.

Because delivering a great meal isn’t just about what reaches the plate. It’s about every decision behind it.
