Quick Start for School and Kitchen Managers

This article lists the tasks a school or kitchen manager handles in a typical week. Tasks are grouped by when they happen.

Each Week, Before Service

  • Open the weekly production view and review the menu for each day.

  • Enter a forecast for each recipe on each day's production record. Confirm the forecast when complete.

  • Use Shop Week or manual orders to order the items needed.

As Deliveries Arrive

  • Receive each order against the invoice. Adjust quantities and add substitutes if needed.

  • Confirm that the items have been added to your on-hand inventory.

Each Day, After Service

  • Open the production record for the day and enter offered, served, damaged, discarded, and leftover amounts.

  • Submit the production record. Leftover amounts return to the on-hand panel for future use.

  • Confirm that POS sessions have been ended for each meal served.

Throughout the Week

  • Update on-hand inventory in the Pantry as items are used or transferred between sites.

  • Address any inventory status flags that show insufficient quantities for upcoming production.
