Take a Meal Count by Headcount on the Full Version [Feature]
This feature allows users to take a meal count by headcount and satisfies the recordkeeping requirement for meal count records. A meal count by headcount means that you are providing an overall participant count for the meal instead of marking the specific participants. In other words, a meal count by headcount tells us how many participants ate a meal, but cannot tell us who ate the meal.
To use this feature:
- Click on Meal Count on the main site dashboard
- Select the date and roster for which you would like to take a meal count.
- Use the up/down arrows or type in the number for the following items:
- Meals Received/Prepared
- Meals Available from Previous Days
- First Meals
- Only see a field called "Count" and nothing else? That means you have a simplified display.
- Can't type a number in the box? That means you are required to use the up/down arrows instead
- Second Meals Served to Children
- Meals Served to Program Adults
- Meals Served to Non-Program Adults
- Non-reimbursable meals
- Number of additional children requesting a meal
- Click “Save” to record the meal counts.
