School Menus


Article Summary

Enter menus for each meal you’ll be serving for the coming days, weeks or months. You may even store existing menus and reuse them for another day or week.

Getting There

  1. From the Procare Home screen click Configuration > System.
  2. Go to Data Management > Meals & Menus > dbl-click School Menus.

Make a new menu from scratch

  1. Select a day on the calendar for this menu.
  2. Click in the box for a particular meal like breakfast and type a description of the meal, then move on to the next meal until they are all filled in as needed.
  3. Repeat for other days. When finished click Save > Exit.

Store an existing menu to reuse it for another day or week

  1. Select a day on the calendar whose menus you want to keep for reuse.
    Hint: If you want to save the entire week then select any day that falls within that calendar week (Sun. – Sat.).
  2. Click the Store button.
    1. If this is a brand new menu (one you just entered and have not yet clicked Save) you’ll be asked if you want to save your changes. Click Save.
    2. Choose to Save as Daily Menu (all menus for that day) or Save as Weekly Menu (all menus for the entire week)
    3. Give the menu a name you’ll recognize later like “Taco Day” or “Week 1”.
    4. Click the small Save button.
      Note: If you change your mind click Close to cancel this procedure.

Load a “Stored” menu to another day or week

  1. Select a day on the calendar whose menus you want to replace with one of your stored menus.
    Hint: If you want to replace the entire week then select any day that falls within that calendar week (Sun. – Sat.).
  2. Click the Load button.
    1. Choose to Load a Saved Daily Menu (all menus for that day) or a Saved Weekly Menu (all menus for the entire week)
    2. Select a menu from your list of stored menus like “Taco Day” or “Week 1”.
    3. Click the small Load button.
      Note: If you change your mind click Close to cancel this procedure.

Delete Menus

You may delete “stored” menus or clear the menus for a particular calendar day, or clear a particular meal (like breakfast) for an entire week.

  • To delete a “stored” menu click Load, choose the menu and click Delete then Close. This removes it from the list, but does not remove it from days where it was previously loaded.
  • To clear all meals for a single day select that day on the calendar and click the Clear button.
  • To clear a particular type of meal for the whole week select any day that falls within that calendar week then click the Week button. Use the left / right Arrow buttons to move to the appropriate meal type (like breakfast) then click the Clear button.

View Menus by Week or Day

Click the Week button to view or edit all breakfasts, etc. for the entire week. Use the left / right arrow buttons to move through the meals from breakfast to AM snack and so forth. Click the Day button to toggle back to all meals for a single day. Use the left / right arrow buttons to move through the days.

To print a basic weekly menu select any day that falls within that calendar week (Sun. – Sat.) then click Print. For additional menu options see Reports.
