Save a useful week as a reusable menu template, then apply it to another month.

Workflow: Review source week → Save template → Apply to month → Review drafts → Publish

1. Save a source week

In Meals → Menus, choose Plan tools → Templates → Save a week. Enter a descriptive Template name and select the Capture week.

Use a name that helps staff recognize the week’s menu pattern.

2. Create the template

Review the source week and choose Save template. Find the saved template in the library. Saving a template does not publish new menus.

3. Apply it to a month

Open the template’s apply action, choose the destination month and review the meal-type scope shown. Confirm only after checking the target.

4. Review the new drafts

Read the result, inspect the target month and make date-specific changes before publishing.

Before you finish

• Templates reuse a weekday pattern; they do not decide your holiday calendar.

• Applying a template skips existing menus and creates drafts. It does not overwrite an already planned date.

• If the template library says information is incomplete or refreshing, wait for it to load successfully before acting.
