We control costs against real prices from your local wholesale market — Corabastos, CEDA, Lo Valledor and more. For school feeding programs, catering, corporate foodservice, hospitals and multi-site operators.
Regardless of sector — school feeding, catering or corporate — bulk foodservice operators share the same problem: deciding without real-time wholesale price visibility. Until now.
Chicken jumps 15% at Corabastos on a Tuesday, and the operator finds out when closing the books at month-end. By then the margin is already gone.
Menu cycles designed in spreadsheets, with no automatic validation of calories, protein or compliance with institutional standards.
When an ingredient's price spikes, the swap is made "by eye" with no calculation of cost impact or nutritional equivalence.
Stock tracked in notebooks or spreadsheets. No real waste tracking, no expiration alerts, no warning signals before running out of supplies.
In Colombia we integrate directly with Corabastos (Bogotá), Medellín's Central Mayorista and Cavasa (Cali). Every day we pull ~174 products with updated prices — with no manual intervention.
Across the rest of Latam, we connect to each city's reference wholesale market. The mechanism is the same: your menus always carry a cost based on real prices, not estimates.
Two products that cover the full cycle — from cost intelligence to AI-assisted daily operations.
Connects your menus to real wholesale market prices from your city, every day. Calculates food cost with real waste factors, validates nutritional compliance automatically, and anticipates price swings with ML prediction.
An AI agent that knows your whole operation: inventory, menus, daily production and suppliers. It answers in natural language and acts within your operation's parameters.
No complex migrations, no endless training sessions. We start with your current structure.
We started with what we know best: Colombia's institutional foodservice market, with its particularities around school feeding programs, Corabastos and regulatory compliance. That expertise is our edge — and it extends to every market in Latam.
Every country has its own reference wholesale market, its own nutritional standards and its own price dynamics. Akenda adapts: same platform, local context.
Tell us about your country →Katú connects schools, families and cafeterias with cashless payments, a school wallet and access control. Akenda closes the loop: it adds cost and operations intelligence on the operator's side.
Together we form the complete school feeding system — from the student's payment to the operator's purchasing decision.
Digital wallet, cashless payments and collections — Katú has it covered for students and parents.
Food cost, menu cycles, inventory, HACCP and AI copilot — everything for the cafeteria operator.
The Akenda–Katú gateway syncs menus, orders and operational metrics between both platforms.
If your cafeteria already uses Katú, Akenda integrates natively with no friction. If not yet, let's talk — we also operate fully independently.
Learn about Katú →Óptimo and SFO run autonomously in any foodservice operation — school feeding, catering, corporate or institutional — with or without payment integration.
