Logging Meals for a Day

The Meals Served page lets you quickly record which meals each child received on any given day. You can claim meals for tax purposes or as part of a food program.

Getting to Meals Served

From the main menu, go to Food > Meals Served.

Selecting a date

Use the left and right arrows next to the date to move between days. The page always opens on today’s date.

Recording a meal

Each child scheduled for the selected day appears on the page. For each meal, you will see one of three states:

• + add — meal has not been claimed
• Taxes — meal is claimed for tax purposes
• Food Program — meal is claimed under a food program

Tap or click the pill to cycle through the states. Each tap saves automatically — there is no save button.

Which children appear?

Only children with a scheduled occurrence on the selected date are shown. If a child is not appearing, check that they have a schedule entry for that day on the Daily Schedule page.

Infants

Children under two years are marked with a purple dot next to their name. Infant meal requirements differ under CACFP — use this as a reminder to apply the appropriate infant meal pattern when logging.
