Crew Catering App
More Meal Choices.
Less Waste.
The Crew Catering app by avialytics interfaces with third-party catering companies on behalf of individual pilots and crew members. We will customize this white-label platform to your brand and look for ways to integrate with and enhance your existing internal processes.
Once developed, this easy-to-use cloud solution takes minutes to install.
- Problems Solved
- Airlines are relieved of their responsibility to organize and order food for sky-bound employees. Caterers benefit from longer lead times for fulfillment as well as easy-to-understand data around consumer behavior and demands. Crew members are invited to choose their own meals, rather than stomach preselected standard options.
- What Else?
- Benefits include reduced food waste, significantly reduced cost, increased choices, increased nutritional transparency and higher morale – from the executive suite to the cockpit.

SERVICES
Personalized Food for Less
App Based Self Service
Using traditional in-flight catering methods, a predetermined amount is spent an standard selections. Crews operating on any given flight are not involved in deciding what food will be available to them. They must choose from the provided meals, usually in descending order of rank. Uneaten food waste is extremely high.
Individual Choices
More food options with nutrition facts, frequent menu variation and the possibility to select meals for flights up to *6 weeks in advance. *Dependent on airline schedule & crew assignment.
Accessibility
Functions both on- or off-line; application refreshes and integrates with avialytics Bl software within 2 minutes of the device’s reconnection to Ethernet/ wi-fi.
Variable Billing & Streamlined Billing
Generates accounting statements by airline and/or individually if salary relevant.
Smart Technology
Expected orders will be forecasted to allow for better planning.
Instant Reaction Time & Processing
Catering orders are automatically validated and sent to the catering companies as XML files to be adjusted to the work flow of the caterer.
Reduced Food Waste
The amount of food ordered can be limited by company policy (e.g. to the value of the current standard selection) or will be limited by the personal budget/ preference of crew.
Reduced Cost
Crew members are given a budget to spend on each meal. If the entire amount isn’t used, the remainder becomes realized savings by the airline.
4 Ways avialytics’ Crew Catering app leads to meteoric C-Suite advancement

Data-proven and backed by case studies, this opp will save your company money. Crew Catering airlines will provide pilots and crew with o pre-determined allowance for food every flight. Enough to order o healthy, hearty meal or meal(s) depending on the duration of the trip. Rarely will crew members utilize that entire sum. Whatever money isn’t spent will be rolled back to the company resulting in significant savings.
Imagine presenting those numbers to the board. Which underfunded department will flourish thanks to your decision to streamline in-flight catering?
3. Icebergs and Tips

We never set out to create a cool.functional catering opp, We set out to build an all-inclusive data warehouse and business intelligence hive that would be capable of astonishing analytical solutions across the entire aviation industry.

2. Happier Earth, Happier Operation
Event-based triggers or schedules are set up to automatically generate and assign tasks across departments. These triggers ensure that tasks are addressed promptly, even in unpredictable situations such as weather changes or crew issues, minimizing the risk of not addressing critical tasks.
According to research published by the Natural Resource Defense Council, airlines annually throw away 9,000 tons of plastic, enough aluminum cans to build 58 Boeing 747 jets and enough newspaper and magazines to cover a football field 230 meters deep.
Use the adoption of Crew Catering as a starting point to explore other environmentally friendly initiatives.
4. Airline Magnetism

Implementing Crew Catering across your fleet is a great way to differentiate yourself from competitors, improve your employees’ experience and demonstrate your company’s future-focused, proactive culture.

4 Things Pilots and jumpseaters that use avialytics’ Crew Catering app take for granted
1. Full Autonomy
Begin with the allowance given by your employer. But maybe you’re training far the Olympics? Curious about an exotic dish? You can add your personal preferred payment method and step up the caloric intake with mare dishes. Yau are the captain of your own culinary fate.
Airlines spend an average of $30 USO per crew member per flight when using traditional catering programs. avialytics allows them to transfer that balance to the individuals’ in-app accounts, to be spent on meals of their choice. Custom food selection translates to reduced waste.
3. Editable Orders
With this many delicious options nobody will judge you far changing your mind. Designating your favorites. Hesitating. Updating those preferences. Scrolling through the gluten-free options, playing with allergen filters, experimenting with the vegan dishes – if we didn’t know better we’d call this opp a game.
avialytics is looking to include a ranking/review platform in future updates. Users will be able to rate their meals and see how others have reacted to dishes before making their orders.
2. Instant Sync
An in-opp schedule updates the moment it touches wi-fi. avialytics sends the necessary communication updates to oll involved parties, ensuring your pre-selected meol will find its way to your new assignment before you do.
Using standard catering methods, crew that are added to/dropped from flights only a few hours before take-off become ‘meal-stranded’ and are left to choose from standard excess options … which then justifies carrying standard excess options. However, by using default favorites the Crew Catering app is able to recalibrate the sources of your meals. It can cancel and/or re-issue your order to match your constantly shuffling destinations.
4. Feast Your Eyes
Color photos and descriptions worthy of ony Michelin-starred eatery will give you more thon enough information to choose your meal. We apologize in advance for any side-effects including mouth watering, hunger pains, frustration that your local market doesn’t offer the same nutritional transparency and lasing track of time while getting last in the menu!
Designed for business and pleasure, the Crew Catering app interface is clean, intuitive and only vaguely addictive.

Works similar to the Cloud base solution and works with established forecasting data.
