How simple it is for you

Three steps. After that, daily life at the daycare runs without paperwork.

1

Accept the invitation

Your daycare invites you by email. One click and you see your child in the app. No PIN slips in the backpack.

2

Order, cancel, done

Weekly menu with allergens, one tap to (un)order. Recurring also works; child sick = meal cancelled automatically.

3

Family wallet runs itself

Set up once, runs by itself. You see transparently what you pay for. BuT applications are settled automatically.

The app

One platform. Every role. Desktop and on the go.

Meal ordering, wallet, calendar, chat and documents: all in one place. At the desk in the facility and on the phone for parents.

Who we are

The people behind KITALE

People buy from people. KITALE is led by two co-founders who have been working together for years: one builds the platform, the other brings it to market.

Co-Founder & CEO

Marc builds and runs KITALE on the technical side. As CEO and architect of the platform he is behind the multi-tenant architecture, the GDPR-solid setup and the reliable operation on servers in Germany. From security and IT engineering he knows the difference between something that just runs and something that truly holds, and makes sure KITALE delivers in real daycare daily life.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common parent questions.

What happens to my child's data?

All data is stored encrypted on German servers, GDPR-compliant and secured with two-factor authentication. You see only your own children's data, other families remain invisible. Educators see only their own group's data.

What if our daycare doesn't use KITALE yet?

We help you propose KITALE to the management. You forward the demo request, we take over demo, setup and training. You don't have to sell anything.

What does KITALE cost me?

Nothing. The platform licence is covered by the provider. You only pay for what your child actually uses (meals, contributions, trips), as before — now transparent in the wallet.

Several children, possibly across different facilities?

One family wallet for all your children, even if they are spread across nursery, daycare and school. Siblings share the wallet, you keep the overview.

What if my child is sick?

You report the absence in 10 seconds. The meal is cancelled automatically, the educators see the report immediately. Other parents in the group see nothing of it.

Do I need the app store?

No. KITALE is a Progressive Web App. You save it to your home screen like an app, no app store, no update hassle. Works on Android and iOS.

For families

No app fee for you.

KITALE has costs, but they are settled with your provider. You yourself pay no license, no subscription, no processing fee.

What you pay KITALE€0no app feeincl. GDPR protection for your child

No subscription, no signup fee, no hidden costs. The platform license is fully covered by your provider.

What you actually payonly usagelike before

Food, fees, trips: exactly what your child uses. Paid via the family wallet, directly to your facility.

Multiple kids & facilitiesone walletno matter how many

Siblings share one family wallet. Even when your kids are spread across nursery, kita and school.

How KITALE is billed with your provider (per-location cap, volume discount, concrete examples) can be viewed directly in the provider view.
