To get an average of the number of children served per day, go to Reports > Standard Reports > Meal Tracker > Daily Record of Meals and print the Meals Served / Claimed Summary for the month. On the report, take the “Daily Total of Participants Who Ate Meals” and divide by the number of days you served meals during the month. For example, 660 participants divided by 22 days would equal an average of 30 children served per day.
