Download the month’s menus as a CSV for review or use in a spreadsheet.

1. Select the month

Open Meals → Menus and navigate to the month to export.

2. Download the menu CSV

Choose Plan tools, then CSV beside Export month. This export includes all meal types for the month. A direct CSV control may appear instead for some permissions.

Export month is in Plan tools and includes all meal types.

3. Review the file

Open the downloaded CSV. Check its dates and the Date, Weekday, Meal, Title, Options, Allergens and Status columns.

4. Use the status column

Check for Draft as well as Published rows before using the export as a family-facing menu. Prepare any print layout in your spreadsheet application.

Before you finish

  • Exporting is a download; it does not publish menus or email the file.

  • The menu CSV is different from an Orders CSV or a Kitchen preparation export.

  • Review the actual file before sharing it, including drafts and date-specific notes in your intended output.
