WHAT IS MENU MODULE? The MENU (Menu Enhancement and Nutrition) Module is a web-based system for menu planning, meal production, nutrition compliance, and meal cost analysis.
BENEFITS OF MENU SOFTWARE STREAMLINED PRODUCTION PROGRAM COMPLIANCE Keep your ingredients, recipes, menus, nutrition information, and production records all in one place. Analyze menus for compliance with federal requirements using the MENU software. IMPROVED MARKETING COST SAVINGS Market meals to students and parents and collect feedback using the School Café mobile app. Use MENU software at no charge (courtesy of the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).)
Show the nutritional value of menus • MENU Module provides a nutritional analysis for all foods and menus entered into the system. The software analyzes menus for compliance with federal requirements for calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, sugars and sodium. No more time spent collecting nutritional information!
Manage food component offerings • MENU Module provides a simple “pass/fail, green for go, red for stop” indicator for daily and weekly menus, in regards to the food components offered. This pass/fail rating can be viewed before actually serving the items to make appropriate adjustments. This is also used during an Administrative Review.
Atomically update any menu changes • Are bananas on the menu but not in the kitchen? Empower Site Managers to easily add the fruit on hand. This easy change is visible, and is recorded at all levels of access.
View production records for every site • Out at a conference? Remember, this can all be done from any location with Wi-Fi and a computer.
Reduce time spent for Administrative Reviews • TDA Compliance Monitors have specific reports indicating nutrient compliance.
