At Tucasi, we’re proud to be shaping the future of school meal management with the launch of our brand-new catering portal — designed specifically to support caterers and schools in delivering safer, smarter, and more efficient meal services.
We’re especially pleased to be working alongside Twelve15, one of the first caterers to begin using our new platform. Their collaboration and feedback have contributed valuable insights during the development process, supporting efforts to enhance allergy-aware catering in Surrey schools.
Why allergy management is at the heart of our platform
Food allergies are a growing concern in UK schools, affecting around 7.4% of children aged 0–15 (The Guardian). With cases rising sharply over the past decade, schools need effective, joined-up systems to protect pupils and give parents peace of mind.
Our new catering platform has been designed to meet this need — integrating allergy management into every stage of the meal process.
Bringing parents, schools and caterers closer together
One of the most powerful features of the Tucasi catering portal is how it facilitates real-time communication and data sharing between parents, schools, and caterers.
Through our SCOPAY app, parents confirm their child’s allergy information, which is then shared directly with the catering team. This ensures that only safe menu options are displayed to parents, and that meals are prepared and served with allergy awareness from start to finish. The platform tracks allergy details from the moment an order is placed to when the meal is served — reducing risk and improving confidence for everyone involved.
This is a critical step forward, especially as research from The Times highlights that many school staff have not received allergy awareness training — despite most having pupils with allergies. Our platform supports schools and caterers in closing this gap with technology that does the heavy lifting.
Streamlining admin and improving sustainability
Where previously it might have taken days of emails and spreadsheets to resolve billing discrepancies, our platform enables schools and caterers to reconcile meals in minutes. This saves time, reduces errors, and frees up staff to focus on pupil wellbeing.
Better visibility of meal orders also means better portion control, cutting down on unnecessary food waste and supporting schools in their sustainability goals.
A step forward for caterers and schools alike
We developed this new catering platform with one goal in mind:
to make school meal services safer, more efficient, and easier to manage for everyone involved.
We’re proud to be working in collaboration with Twelve15, whose early adoption and constructive input have helped shape the system to better meet the practical needs of caterers in real school settings. Their focus on delivering allergy-safe, high-quality meals has made them a valuable contributor during the initial rollout.
Be part of the change
Surrey schools have the opportunity to be among the first to benefit from this new system. By working with Twelve15, they can be at the forefront of allergy-aware catering, while simplifying admin and improving parent engagement.
If you’re a Surrey school or caterer interested in finding out more about our platform, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Together, we can help make school meals safer, smarter, and more sustainable for everyone.
At Tucasi, we believe technology should make school life better for pupils, parents, and staff. Our new catering portal is doing exactly that, starting in Surrey and soon expanding further afield.
With powerful allergy management tools, real-time reconciliation, and stronger parent-school-caterer communication, our platform is setting a new standard in school meal services. And with caterers like Twelve15, we’re just getting started.
