Built around practical teaching

One place to plan, prepare and teach.

The Hub connects the full practical teaching workflow—from timetables and recipe bookings through to ingredients, stock, shopping, student alerts and reporting—so teachers and support teams can work from the same information.

The Hub in practice

Purpose-built for practical teaching teams.

The product visuals below use sample information and reflect the core workflows available across The Hub.

Plan

See the entire kitchen week at a glance.

The schedule brings periods, lesson types, bookings and blocked times together, with week and term printing available from the same workspace.

Practical, demonstration, service and assessment bookings Blocked periods and school-specific timetable structure Week, term and preparation printing

Create and share

Keep recipes useful from classroom to preparation.

Recipes carry group sizes, year levels, terms, ingredients, conversions, equipment, methods and estimated costs. Schools can also preview shared recipes and use a request-and-approval workflow before copying them.

Custom ingredient units and density-linked conversions Recipe cards, estimated costs and print-ready methods Cross-school preview, request and approval workflows

Prepare

Turn scheduled lessons into actionable preparation.

Shopping and stock tools combine scheduled use, stocktakes and ingredient data so staff can see what should be available and what still needs to be ordered.

Projected opening stock across a chosen date range Combined ingredients and order quantities Density, weight, volume and pricing calculations

More than a booking calendar

Tools that support the full teaching operation.

The Hub is designed to reduce fragmented spreadsheets, printed notes and duplicated administration across a practical teaching faculty.

Kitchen scheduling

Plan practical lessons, demonstrations, services, assessments and blocked periods across the school week.

Recipe management

Build, print, share and copy recipes with clear quantities, methods, equipment, year groups and term filters.

Ingredients and pricing

Maintain categories, custom units, density values, weight and volume conversions, options and current pricing.

Stock and shopping

Compare projected use with stock on hand and produce combined shopping requirements for selected dates.

Classes and roles

Give teachers, Head Teachers, Kitchen Assistants and administrators access suited to their responsibilities.

Student alerts

Surface relevant student and medical alerts to authorised roles during planning and preparation.

Reports and summaries

Review booking activity, preparation needs and operational data through role-aware reports and summaries.

Designed for the team

The right tools for each school role.

The Hub uses role-aware access so staff see the workflows they need without turning every user into an administrator.

Teachers Manage classes, book practical lessons, create recipes and request shared recipes from other schools.

Head Teachers Oversee classes and schedules, manage faculty recipes and approve recipe-copy requests.

Kitchen Assistants Coordinate preparation, recipes, stocktakes, shopping, classes and relevant student alerts.

School Administrators Configure school structures, users, terms, permissions and operational settings.

School-aware context Data and actions are scoped to the active school context.

Role-based access Permissions reflect the different responsibilities across a practical teaching team.

Audit and notifications Important activity can be recorded and surfaced to the people responsible for acting.

Privacy-conscious design Sensitive student information is limited to authorised workflows and roles.
