Why Food Manufacturers Are Turning to Automation — and How Mezze Helps

Across the UK, manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less. Rising costs, labour shortages and customer demands are accelerating the need for smarter, more efficient operations. The message is clear: automation and AI aren’t optional anymore — they’re essential.

At Mezze, we’re helping food manufacturers automate the everyday tasks that slow teams down, starting with B2B ordering.

Automate What Matters Most

Automation doesn’t need to mean robots on the production line. Often, it’s the small, repetitive admin tasks that eat up time and limit growth, like chasing orders or manually managing customer calls, emails and WhatsApps.

Mezze automates the mundane, time-consuming admin tasks:

• AI order reminders so customers don’t forget

• One-click reordering from any device at any time

• Customer insights that highlight gaps and buying patterns

• A modern, self-serve portal that customers actually enjoy using

All of this means fewer missed orders, smoother operations and more time for your team to focus on what really matters.

"With Mezze, we aim to set new industry standards, boost efficiency and provide a friendly and easy-to-use buying experience to our customers."

AI That Works Quietly in the Background

Mezze uses AI to support your existing workflow, not replace it. Our tools learn from each customer’s buying habits to send timely nudges, spot unusual patterns and reduce the back-and-forth that slows everyone down.

You stay in control. Your customers stay happy. And your business keeps moving.

Get Ahead — Without the Overhead

The path to automation doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. With Mezze, you can:

• Cut admin time by hours each week (Pieminster reduced customer service admin by 76%)

• Prevent lost revenue from missed or late orders (Mezze AI rescued £493.740 last year)

• Give your team and customers a better experience

"The food industry is at a critical juncture. By leveraging technology and innovative solutions, we can transform the sector, ensuring sustainability and growth. It’s not just about reducing headcount; it’s about creating a resilient and efficient food system that can weather these challenges and emerge stronger."

— Toby Pickard, IGD

Modern food businesses are choosing simple, scalable tools to stay competitive. Mezze is purpose-built for that — and for you.
