With Kanpla, Meyers rolled out a solution that’s fully integrated with Novonesis’ employee card system. Employees tap their card, the right price applies automatically, and everything is captured in one unified platform.

On top, the Kanpla app gives guests a faster “skip-the-POS” option for lunch registration in the App combined with menu showcase, loyalty, and real-time crowd tracking.

The integration with employee cards enabled us to seamlessly operate a client of this with 4 different price levels, while keeping the setup fast & easy for all guests. All of this was achieved while lowering our weekly admin & reporting. - CTO, Meyers

About Novonesis

Novonesis is a global biosolutions company formed by the combination of Novozymes and Chr. Hansen, focused on biological solutions used across industries.

The challenge: One restaurant, many visitor types - and pricing has to be right

In a workplace restaurant setting like Novonesis, it’s not enough to “take payments.” The canteen must reliably support:

• Different prices for employees, consultants, and external visitors

• A guest option that works when a registered Novonesis employee needs to enable a transaction at the register

• A smooth experience across multiple sites, without adding administrative complexity

The solution: Employee-card pricing + app-based lunch registration + signage on the same platform

Kanpla gave Meyers a setup where identity, pricing, and channels are connected across all locations.

Tap employee card → correct price applied automatically

When guests arrive in the restaurant, they can simply tap their Novonesis employee card or visitor card on the terminal. Kanpla recognizes the user category and applies the right price, consistently and instantly.

Employees can also go app-first: the Kanpla app is linked directly to their Novonesis employee account, so instead of queuing at the POS they can register lunch from their phone - with receipts saved automatically.

The app also works as a daily restaurant companion, showing the menu with CO₂ data, nutrition, and allergens, and even live crowd tracking so people can time their visit when it’s less busy.

It also opens up additional purchases beyond lunch (like takeaway and deli) and lets employees benefit from Meyers’ loyalty program across bakeries and selected partners. And because the same Kanpla data powers digital signage, menus and daily updates stay consistent everywhere—what’s on screens matches what’s in the app and what’s in the system, without maintaining content in multiple places. Kanpla is also integrated with their recipe system and has driven administration savings on +4 hours per week.

Results

• 100% of sales run through Kanpla

• 8,000 connected card users across 8 locations (including +5,500 employees)

• 62% app adoption among employees

• A consistent canteen experience where pricing rules, lunch registration, app content, and signage all operate in one shared platform

• +4 hours of administration saved per week

Looking ahead

With employee-card integration and one platform across channels, Meyers has a scalable foundation at Novonesis: consistent pricing, faster service flow, and a guest experience that they can keep on elevating with the tolls and features of Kanpla.
