# Smarter AI import, cleaner menu management.

Havenue 0.9 helps teams import recipes faster, manage menus with more confidence, and prepare events with clearer guidance before service.

Plans from £399 a month, after 7 days free.

## Built for faster review and fewer manual fixes

Each improvement is designed around real hospitality workflows: recipes, set menus, dietary planning, chef review, and event preparation.

- **AI Import** : Upload multiple recipe files at once, including PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, and images. Havenue reviews each file separately, so one messy upload no longer holds up the rest.
- **Recipes and Event Dishes Stay in Sync** : Keep internal recipes and customer-facing dishes aligned, with clear controls when a dish name or description needs to read differently for an event.
- **Recipe Variants and Cloning** : Create practical versions such as half portion, gluten free, vegan, no sauce, or no dairy, then edit and publish without duplicate-name headaches.
- **Menu Library Improvements** : Review set menus more easily, reorder dishes with less friction, and add missing dishes without leaving the menu flow.
- **Culinary and Portion Standards** : Set up replacement rules and portion guidance with clearer choices, smarter matching, and previews that help teams catch mismatches earlier.
- **Event Planner Improvements** : Handle compound dietary requirements, check event details before generation, and apply set-menu portions with a clearer order of priority.
- **Clearer Chef Review Notes** : Havenue Chef notes now explain what changed, why it changed, and what still needs attention in plain language for chefs and managers.
- **Source Traceability** : Review where imported recipes, dishes, rules, and portions came from, then remove anything that should not go live before it reaches your team.
- **English and Italian Support** : New labels, review notes, dietary guidance, and planner controls are available in English and Italian.

## A clearer path from recipe files to event-ready menus.

Havenue 0.9 gives your team more confidence at every review step, from imported recipe details to portion guidance and chef-facing notes.

## What Havenue is

Havenue is the AI-native dietary and catering management software for hospitality: catering companies, hotels, venues, restaurants and private dining.

It automates the back-of-house behind event catering, from the enquiry to the kitchen pass to the invoice. The Dietary & Catering Engine checks every dish against every guest's requirements and finds safe replacement dishes from the operator's own recipes, for chef sign-off. Around it sit an advanced, automated event CRM with a live pipeline, a smart inventory and stock system with every allergen tagged from the ingredients themselves, recipe and menu costing with live cost per head and GP%, ordering and supplier management, invoicing, billing and client payments, generated BEOs and allergen matrices, reporting, and the full platform in a mobile browser. One integrated platform, one event record.
