Menu templates are reusable menus that are not specific to the day or meal. Both sponsors and centers can create and use menu templates. Any center-created templates are only visible to the center that created them (and the sponsor). You can create templates for both infants and non-infants. You can also use menu templates to build your master menus.
To create menu templates:
-
From the menu to the left, click Menus/Attendance.
-
Select Menu Templates. The Menu Templates page opens.
-
Select Infants to add infant menu templates or Non-Infants to add non-infant menu templates.
-
Click Add Menu.
-
Click the Select Meal drop-down menu and select the meal for which to create a template.
-
Click the What is the Name of This Menu box and enter a name for this menu.
-
Click each drop-down menu and select the foods for each meal component.
-
When finished, click Save.
Can centers see the menu templates created by the sponsor?
Yes, once you create menu templates in your sponsor account, all centers will be able to view and use these templates at the site level.
Centers have the ability to view and use templates created by their sponsor, or create menu templates of their own.
Centers do not have the ability to make any edits or changes to templates created by the sponsor.
To view how centers use this feature, see Menu Templates for Centers.
