Forkto for Hospitals
When a patient has a reaction, you need to trace the exact batch of every ingredient in that meal — the supplier, the delivery date, the use-by. Forkto gives hospital kitchens full traceability from supplier to plate, allergen management for patient dietary needs, recipe and cost control, and compliance records for every inspection.

Trace Any Meal Back to the Supplier
If something goes wrong, you need answers in minutes, not days. Forkto connects every ingredient to its supplier, batch, and delivery — through recipes and production to the finished meal.
Full Ingredient Traceability
Every ingredient is booked in with supplier details, weight, use-by date, and quality checks. Recipes link ingredients to finished meals. If a patient gets sick, pull up a product trace report showing every ingredient, its supplier, batch, and delivery date — in seconds.
Recipe & Cost Management
Build recipes with precise ingredient quantities and sub-recipes. Track costs per portion across your menu. Produce batches that consume stock automatically with full weight calculations. Manage food costs on tight hospital budgets.
Allergen Management for Patients
Track all 14 major allergens across your entire menu — main kitchen, ward meals, and special diets. Specify cereals and nut types. Export a PDF allergen matrix for kitchen display. Protect patients with allergies, coeliac disease, and other dietary requirements.

Why Hospital Kitchens Choose Forkto
Built for high-volume kitchens serving vulnerable patients — where traceability, allergens, and costs all matter.
Supplier-to-Plate Traceability
Ingredients arrive and are logged with supplier, batch, weight, and use-by. They go into recipes and production runs. If a patient has a reaction to Tuesday's lasagne, trace every ingredient — the mince, the pasta, the cheese — back to the exact supplier and delivery in seconds.
Recipe & Cost Control
Build recipes with exact ingredient quantities and sub-recipes. Forkto calculates weights and can track costs per recipe. Manage food budgets across departments. When ingredient prices change, see the impact on your menu costs immediately.
Allergens & Patient Safety
Track all 14 allergens for every menu item. Manage special diets, allergen-free options, and texture-modified meals. Generate a PDF allergen matrix for every ward kitchen. One wrong ingredient could be life-threatening — Forkto makes sure it doesn't happen.
