When creating a Rotating Meal Menu, you will be prompted to not only add the general provision name e.g. Hot School Lunch, but also the 'Label' i.e. the individual meal choice on a given day, e.g. Pepperoni Pizza.
Where there are dietary considerations, you can also include this information within the Label. This will be visible to parents and guardians when they make the meal choices via the Parent Portal or App.
Please note: The option of adding dietary information specific to a given meal is only possible if you are setting up Rotating Meal Menus by using the Labels feature. If setting up a standard meal, you may choose to add different general meal provisions to reflect different dietary options, e.g. Vegetarian Hot Meal or Vegan Hot Meal.
How to add dietary information to meal labels
When adding your meal menus, first select the Provision from the dropdown. Then enter the name of the meal in the Label column. As this is a free text box, this is also where you can add any dietary or allergen information about the meal itself, as seen in the image below.
How do parents see this dietary information?
When parents and guardians make meal choices via the Parent Portal or App, they will see any information that you have included in the Label column, helping them to make informed dietary choices for their child.
