About Kanpla

At Kanpla, our mission is to provide canteens with better software. We aim to improve how thousands of hardworking chefs manage their canteens by building a unified platform that combines all sales channels—App, POS, and Web—with chefs' favorite tools for managing menus.

Founded in 2020, Kanpla has quickly become the platform of choice for thousands of canteens across schools, universities, and global enterprises, helping them streamline their catering operations every day.
