FAQ
Is Havenue a replacement for Nutritics?
Not on nutrition analysis and labelling, and we will not pretend otherwise. Havenue replaces the event and operations stack around the food: the Event CRM, the generated BEO, per-guest dietary menus, live cost per head and GP%, inventory, purchase orders and client invoicing.
Does Havenue cost recipes and menus?
Yes, and it keeps them costed. Every recipe carries its own cost, every set menu shows cost per head and GP% as dishes go in, and when a supplier price moves you accept the change once and it travels to every dish and every event you have not run yet.
What about allergens?
Havenue tags them on every ingredient and dish while reading your recipes, checks each guest against them, suggests replacement dishes from recipes your chef has approved, and generates the allergen matrix for the event. The chef reviews and signs off, and the sign-off is recorded against the event.
Can I move our recipe library across?
Yes. Export it from Nutritics in whatever format it offers, send it with your menus, suppliers and price lists, and we import it inside the free trial. Setup is our job, not yours, and your team runs a real event on it within one working day.
Can I trust AI with a nut allergy?
You are not being asked to. Havenue reads your recipes and tags the allergens on every ingredient and every dish, then checks each guest against them and suggests a replacement dish from recipes you have already approved. Your chef reviews that on one screen and signs it off, and the sign-off is recorded against the event. The work that used to be done from memory at 11pm is done in front of you, in daylight, by someone qualified to judge it.
What happens to my data in the system I am leaving?
It comes with you. Export your recipes, menus, ingredients, suppliers and price lists from your current system, in whatever format it gives you, and we import that export as it is, along with anything else you keep in spreadsheets. We load the lot inside the free trial. You keep your existing account running the whole time, so nothing is switched off until you have decided.
We already run on another system. Is it worth switching?
Usually yes, and you do not have to switch to find out. Most teams who move were not unhappy with their old system, they were unhappy with what it could not do: check every dish against a guest's allergies, write next week's purchase order, show the margin before the quote goes out. Bring one real event into the free trial and run it alongside whatever you use today.
How long until my team is actually running on it?
One working day, and we do the work. Send us the recipes and menus you already have, in whatever shape they are in, and we load them with your inventory. Your team runs its first event on it the next day. No IT project and no training course.
My chefs are not office people. Will they actually use it?
That is the test that matters, and it is why Havenue runs on a phone as well as a laptop. A chef photographs a supplier bill at the back door and it costs itself. Nobody has to sit at a desk to keep the numbers true.
Does it handle ordering, suppliers and money as well as events?
Yes, and doing it in one system is the point. Havenue writes next week's purchase orders from your booked events, reads the supplier bills that come back and books the delivery in, and raises the quote and the invoice off the same event record. A supplier price rise updates every recipe and every event margin with it.
What if it does not work for us?
Free for 7 days, no charge until day 8, and you cancel in one click. No setup fee and no contract.
