MenuIQ is a genuinely capable allergen and menu platform — but it's built and priced for multi-site groups with a purchasing team behind them. Kitchen Control is built for the kitchen where you are the purchasing team.
Where Kitchen Control genuinely covers the same ground, and where MenuIQ goes further — no dressing it up.

You run one site, you're the one doing the admin yourself, and you want to be live the same day without a sales call. Price matters, and you'd rather see it on the page than ask for it.
You're managing allergen and cost data across multiple sites, you need printed PPDS labels and HACCP tooling today, and you have the time (and often budget) for a proper onboarding process.
Built for independent UK kitchens — not multi-site groups with a procurement team. Set up in an afternoon.
