Kanpla

It's 8am, a parent has forgotten to order lunch, the teacher has no idea, and the kitchen is already preparing. For a lot of schools, this is just a Thursday. School lunch involves a lot of people, a lot of moving parts, and very little margin for error. A missed order isn't just an admin problem - it's a child without a meal. So we asked: what if every part of that journey was connected? From the parent ordering at home, to the teacher spotting a gap on the Whiteboard, to the kitchen producing to a confirmed number, to the child collecting their meal in seconds - every step tracked, every gap covered. ✅ No chasing. No guesswork. No child left without lunch. Interested in our new Whiteboard solution? Book a demo here - https://lnkd.in/eBiZhg_A

750,000 users. And there's so much more to come. 💚 This month alone, we've gone live with 23 partners across 7 countries, and none of it happens without the operators, customers, and colleagues who've been part of this journey from the start. The platform is growing, the team is growing, and the ambition hasn't changed since day one. Thank you! The next milestone is already in sight. 🚀

Kanpla x Lokaal.nl | B Corp™ A B Corp-accredited company. At least 50% of non-personnel spend goes straight to independent local suppliers. And a team that calls itself the new generation of corporate caterers. That's Lokaal. Young, energetic, and building a hospitality experience around craft, local provenance, and real character - they're doing things differently. And when they went looking for a technology partner, they wanted someone who shared that approach. We're proud they chose us. "We chose Kanpla because they have a good, user-friendly product, but above all because of the people behind the organisation and the partnership that comes with that. With Kanpla, we have 100% confidence in that." Read the full Cater Story here: https://lnkd.in/eFufzAXw

Meet the newest members of the Kanpla team! 💚 🇬🇧 Charlotte Phillips, UK Customer Success Lead (B&I), brings experience across hospitality, technology recruitment, and SaaS Customer Success. She joins to focus on long-term retention and making sure customers get the best out of Kanpla for years to come - ideally over a bowl of seafood pasta 🍝 🇺🇸 Keith Pergola, Director of US Delivery, joins us with 11 years at Compass Group - starting as a café manager and working his way to Global Implementation Manager at Google. He loves to travel, stay active, and is always on the hunt for something new to eat - pizza being the reliable constant. ⚽ Sophia Knudsen, Customer Service Agent, brings a background in purchasing and the value chain - but it's her love of people that brought her back to customer support. When she's not cheering on AGF, you'll find her cooking, baking, or with her nose in a book. We're hoping she brings in some of her homemade pepperoni pizza soon. ⚙️ Milos Laptosevic, DevOps Engineer, brings 10 years of infrastructure experience and a love of scaleups at exactly the right stage of growth. He joins to get stuck into the hard problems - fuelled, we're told, by ćevapi. 🇩🇰 Stephany Perea, Customer Technical Support, brings a uniquely well-rounded perspective, with seven years working almost every role in the restaurant industry, before shifting into customer support and tech. She joins Kanpla to bring both worlds together, and her favourite dish says it all: bandeja paisa - rice, beans, steak, chorizo, fried egg, avocado, fried pork belly, arepa, and plantain. A little bit of everything, done properly! We're excited to have them all on board as Kanpla keeps growing! 🚀

At Kanpla, we’re dedicated to serving contract caterers, but we also enjoy staying active and running! ⚡️ 🏃 Wednesday, we participated in DHL Stafetten 2026, where 15 colleagues ran a 5k in teams of five. We had a lot of fun during the race and enjoyed cheering each other on. Well done to everyone who participated in this year's DHL Stafet - we’re already looking forward to next year’s race! Extra kudos to our fastest team, who finished 37 out of 3.000 teams.

Technology in hospitality is ten times better than it was two years ago. Satisfaction with it has barely moved. Chris Fletcher, Founder & CEO of Tech On Toast, surveyed more than 150 hospitality leaders alongside Bill's, Rosa's Thai and Square. 94% only adopt technology when it becomes absolutely necessary. Just 6% buy ahead of the curve. Only 18% would recommend the system they are running today. He sat down with Toby Bonnett for the new episode of Served. and pushed back on the premise we opened with: Contract catering is not behind the high street. Its contracts are. Four things worth stealing: → Demo technology constantly, even when you have no intention of buying → Never let a POS lock you into buying everything from one vendor → Give a rollout the same effort you give a menu change, because it touches every employee → Stop treating the office diner as a different species Full write-up + video snippets: https://lnkd.in/dZKv2-ti

𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫! 🚀 Kanpla is building its engineering leadership layer for the first time, and we're looking for someone to help shape it. As Engineering Manager for Admin and CORE, you'll manage two teams from day one - roughly 10 engineers across two very different platforms. Admin powers the back office that kitchen teams and account managers rely on daily; CORE is the shared foundation that everything else is built on. This is a player-coach role: people-first, but hands-on enough to hold a real technical conversation. If you care about growing engineers, removing bottlenecks, and building a function from the ground up - this one's for you! 📍 Aarhus, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, or fully remote across Europe 👉 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/eeAEdSt3
