Reporting on Rotating Meal Menu choices

This article will outline how to use our Meal reporting tools if you have Rotating Meal Menus set up. If you don't have these, please see our standard Meals reporting guidance.

The difference in your Meal reporting between when you have set up Meal Menus, is that there will be an additional column in your reports and tables for Provision label which will show the actual meal taken.

In the registers from the Daily Summary page, you'll also see this column. In the example below you can see the Students tab. You can use the bulk actions to update the meal choice - this will show the Provision Label (e.g. Fish & Chips) when this is set up and the Provision name (e.g. Hot meal option 1) if this is not set up.
