Meal Counts by Headcount (Weekly Entry Web Version)

This feature 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.

Note: the weekly entry method is not time-restricted. This method assumes that original attendance and meal counts are being taken on paper and then transferred in to My Food Program.

To use this feature:

• Click on "Enter Attendance & Meal Count from Paper" from the main dashboard

• Select the Monday of the week for which you want to enter meal counts
• Select the roster
• Click "Submit" to load the participant list

You will see the meal types served at the facility.

• Enter the total number of participants for each meal each day.
• Click "Save" at the bottom of the screen
