PAXIA SPECIFICATIONS

The Single Source of Truth for Every Meal and Onboard Item

Paxia Specifications centralizes the specs for everything you provision — meals, recipes, and allergen data, plus beverages, amenity kits, blankets, headsets, and lavatory supplies — with the agreed pricing behind every spec, across your entire network, so every caterer, every station, and every flight serves to the same standard.

WHAT IT DOES

One Spec, Applied Everywhere

Specs built in spreadsheets and shared by email drift: a station gets an update late, a caterer works from an old version, and the inconsistency shows up onboard. Paxia Specifications gives you one current version of every meal specification, recipe, and packaging standard, available to every caterer and station the moment a new version is approved. The same hierarchy covers what isn't food — beverages, amenity kits, blankets, headsets, and lavatory supplies — so every item onboard is specified, priced, and approved the same way. A structured specification hierarchy keeps meals, components, and pricing organized, so scheduling and costing them across the network stays fast instead of manual.

Allergen data lives at the spec level, so compliance information travels with the recipe automatically — not as a separate document someone has to remember to attach. Because every change moves through a formal approval workflow before it reaches anyone, the version caterers work from is always the right one.

KEY CAPABILITIES

What Paxia Specifications Changes for Your Team

Four outcomes built directly into the module, each addressing a problem that is likely being solved with a spreadsheet today.

Standardized Recipes & Specs
One version, applied across your whole network
Build and maintain meal specifications centrally across the full hierarchy, from individual ingredients to complete menus, and make approved updates available to every route, fleet, and caterer. Copy existing specs to accelerate new builds, bulk upload to keep large networks moving, and use Rotation Types to keep menu cycles running systematically.
Pricing & Cost Management
Every catering cost, priced and agreed
Manage prices for meals, ground handling, laundry, warehousing, special meals, and uplift. Run the caterer quotation-and-approval loop, keep full price history, and use Price Groups to simplify pricing across the network. Reference data like Load Scales and Rotation Types keeps it all consistent.
Version Control & Approvals
A full audit trail for every change
Every specification change is tracked, approved, and timestamped, ready for quality reviews and audits without needing to rebuild history. Design status and pricing status are tracked independently, so a spec can be operationally current while its pricing is still moving through approval.
Allergen & Dietary Compliance
Compliance that travels with the recipe
Track allergen and special-meal data at the spec level — including IATA special meal code mapping — so the information caterers need is current and accurate across the network.
WHO USES IT

Built for the People Who Touch It Daily

Paxia Specifications is designed around the day-to-day workflows of the teams that rely on it most.

Culinary & Menu Development
Build and refine specifications centrally across the full hierarchy and make updates available network-wide once approved. No waiting on station-by-station rollouts.
Onboard Services
Specify the non-food items that fly with every service — amenity kits, blankets, headsets, and lavatory supplies — with the same approvals and agreed pricing as the meals.
Quality & Compliance Teams
Formal approval workflows ensure allergen data is verified and current before it reaches caterers, and the full version history means audit questions are answered without reconstructing anything.
Caterers & Ground Partners
Work from one approved, version-controlled specification and participate directly in the pricing workflow, eliminating both the version confusion and the back-and-forth that leads to billing errors.
