Digital ordering

Many notes. Many hands. No clear order.

Everyone scribbles down what's missing – on receipts, scraps, in phone notes. Different handwriting, scattered across the whole kitchen. When the rep arrives, one person has to gather it all and type up a list. Messy, time-consuming, error-prone. And something always gets forgotten.

How Pelican helps your team

1

Team captures

By voice or manually, mid-service. Everyone adds what's missing.

2

Pelican sorts

Duplicates merged, everything automatically grouped by category.

3

List is ready

The rep arrives, the head chef orders straight from the sorted order list.

Voice input

Captured in seconds, no typing at all.

Hands full mid-service? Hold the mic and speak: »three crates of vine tomatoes, five litres of olive oil«. Pelican recognises the item and quantity and adds them to the list, neatly sorted.

  • No typing, no paper
  • Saves real time during the day
  • Nothing gets lost in the rush
»three crates of vine tomatoes …«

Multilingual

Tomatoes. Pomodori. Tomaten. One entry.

Not everyone in the kitchen speaks the same language – and they don't have to. Everyone enters in their own language, Pelican recognises the product behind it and writes it down consistently. English, Italian, German: one team, one list, no misunderstandings.

  • Everyone writes in their native language
  • Same product = one clean entry
  • Perfect for mixed-language teams

When the rep visits

Check off instead of retyping.

When the rep arrives, just switch to rep mode: large type, one tap per item. Whoever places the order checks off what gets ordered from whom, optionally enters the price, and sees in the order history when what was ordered at which price.

  • Check off per supplier, forget nothing
  • Optionally record prices for direct comparison
  • Full order history incl. spending

No rep coming? Send the list as a PDF, by email or WhatsApp – split by supplier if you like.

No new hardware

Runs on the smartphones and tablets already in the kitchen – iOS and Android.

Ready in minutes

Guided onboarding tour: create your business, invite the team, get going – no training needed.

Roles & invitations

The head chef invites the team by link and assigns roles. Everyone sees exactly what they need.

The full overview for the owner.

Pelican doesn't just help the team in the kitchen. The complete order history lets the owner trace at any time what the business is ordering, without standing in the kitchen. And because everyone works on one list, there are fewer duplicate and wrong orders.

A complete order overview

When was what ordered, from whom and by whom? The order history records every order in black and white. Traceable at any time instead of by word of mouth. The control instrument for the one who pays the bill in the end.

Staff changes without losing knowledge

A cook leaves, the knowledge stays: suppliers, usual quantities and the entire order history belong to the business, not to one person's head. Whoever starts new sees immediately how things were ordered before.

Spending at a glance

If the team enters prices when ordering, the owner sees where the food cost goes: per order, per supplier, per week. Cost control on the side.

Delivery note & invoice scanner

Snap a photo of the delivery note or invoice and Pelican checks it against the order automatically: do quantity and price match? Discrepancies surface before they cost money.

What head chefs want to know.

What is Pelican?

Pelican is an order-planning app for professional kitchens. The kitchen team captures the daily needs together by voice or by typing, and the head chef releases the finished list before the supplier visit.

Does it work with mixed-language teams?

Yes, that's exactly what Pelican is made for. Everyone enters in their own language – English, Italian or German. Pelican recognises the product behind it and writes it consistently onto the shared list. Whether tomato, pomodoro or Tomate: it lands as one clean entry.

Does the business owner need their own account?

No. The owner doesn't have to use the app at all. The team creates the business in the app, the head chef invites members, and everyone joins with a free account – up to 5 on Basic, unlimited on Pro.

Payment is made via a link the team passes to the owner. The owner pays without an app account and manages the subscription independently through the customer portal.

What does the business owner get out of Pelican?

The order history shows at any time when what was ordered from whom: as a control instrument, during staff changes and, if the team enters prices, also as an overview of spending.

A scanner for delivery notes and invoices is in the works: take a photo and Pelican automatically checks whether delivery and invoice match the order.

Does everyone on the team have to pay?

No. Pelican is paid once per business. The business provides access and the whole kitchen team then uses the app at no extra cost.

What does Pelican cost?

Pelican is billed per business. Basic costs 49 euros per month for up to 5 users, Pro costs 99 euros per month for unlimited users. New businesses can try Pelican free for 30 days.

Do I need new hardware?

No. Pelican runs on the smartphones and tablets already in the kitchen, on iOS and Android.

Does Pelican replace my supplier?

No. Pelican prepares the order as a team. Ordering and price negotiation happen as usual directly with the supplier or representative. The personal price conversation stays.

How can I cancel?

The subscription can be cancelled anytime via the customer portal. Access remains active until the end of the paid period.
