NetMenu from Illumia + Metafoodx
Connects foodservice operations, menu planning, nutrition management, and production workflows with real-time food tracking and waste analytics.
Integrations
Connected from menu to waste.
Metafoodx integrates with the menu planning systems you already use, bringing real-time production and waste data into one platform. No manual entry, no guesswork.

Jamix + Metafoodx
Automates menu syncing, leftover tracking, and kitchen analytics to help commercial kitchens improve operational efficiency and sustainability performance.
OpenAPI
Custom connectUsing a different system?
Metafoodx can connect through a custom OpenAPI integration. Tell us what you use and we’ll confirm your options.
No extra setup
Three ways to keep your menu current.
Item-level tracking starts with an accurate menu. Instead of your team building and maintaining a food item list, Metafoodx pulls your menu from the source that works for you and keeps it up to date.
Connect your existing system
Jamix, Parsley, or NetMenu from Illumia. Your menu can be ready from day one, and dish updates carry over automatically.
Sync from your website
Share a link to your online menu and Metafoodx pulls the latest version every day. Nothing to export, upload, or maintain.
Just send it over
No menu system or public menu page? Send the spreadsheet, PDF, or document you already use. We add it to Metafoodx and set up a process so your team never re-enters updates by hand.

“Metafoodx gave us something we never had before: real visibility into our kitchen operations. Now we know exactly what our guests are consuming and where we’re overproducing, which allows us to adjust quickly, reduce waste, and run a much more efficient operation.”Juan Gomez de la Torre, General Manager, Mayan Princess Beach & Dive Resort
FAQ
Integration questions.
Which menu systems does Metafoodx integrate with?
Jamix, Parsley, and NetMenu from Illumia. If you use a different system, we can connect through a custom OpenAPI integration, pull your menu from a public webpage, or work with the menu files you already have.
Is Metafoodx hard to set up?
No. We set up your menu whichever option you choose, so your team doesn’t have to build anything in Metafoodx. There’s no food-item pre-training, and we handle onsite assembly and training so your team can start tracking quickly.
What happens when our menu changes?
If your menu system is connected, changes carry over to Metafoodx. With website sync, the next daily sync picks them up. If you send your menu another way, we agree on an update process with you during setup so your team isn’t re-entering items.
What if we serve a dish Metafoodx hasn’t seen before?
That’s fine. Metafoodx can recognize new or unexpected dishes without being trained on each item first. If it isn’t sure, it suggests close matches from your menu and your team picks the right one with a tap.
