Menu planning
Create, copy, review, publish and export daily and monthly menus.
- Creating a Daily MenuCreate a menu for a particular service date and meal type. You can save it as a draft while you review the details.
- Adding Family Notes and Dietary Information to a MenuAdd menu-level information families need when reviewing a meal. Keep it specific to the food offered that day.
- Adding Alternative Meal Choices for FamiliesOffer alternative dishes when your meal configuration allows them. The main item remains part of the menu.
- Publishing Menus to FamiliesPublish a reviewed menu to make it visible in family meal ordering. Saving a draft and publishing are separate choices.
- Editing, Unpublishing, or Deleting a MenuUse the date’s management controls for menu changes. Check existing orders before changing a published menu.
- Copying a Menu to Another DayRepeat one meal menu on another service date without overwriting an existing menu.
- Copying a Week of MenusReuse a week’s menus for the selected meal type. The copy follows weekdays and respects offered service days.
- Duplicating Menus into Another MonthReuse a month’s meal pattern in a different month. The tool matches weekday occurrences rather than identical calendar dates.
- Creating and Using Menu TemplatesSave a useful week as a reusable menu template, then apply it to another month.
- Publishing a Full Month of MenusPublish the month’s reviewed drafts for the selected meal type in one action.
- Exporting the Monthly MenuDownload the month’s menus as a CSV for review or use in a spreadsheet.
