Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
The state of Michigan is seeking a vendor to provide a cloud-based, mobile-friendly digital menu planning software solution for use across schools or districts. The desired system should enable users to create and manage customizable menus and recipes that align with state guidelines and district-specific requirements.
Key capabilities include dashboards and reports on meal popularity, participation rates, and identification of underperforming items. The software should feature cost analysis functionality, including recommendations for cost-effective menu items or substitutions, and provide insights into cost per meal and cost per item. Direct linkage between production records, cost analysis, and menu item performance is essential.
Additionally, the solution must offer real-time inventory tracking, including monitoring usage, waste, and automatic replenishment notifications, as well as seamless integration with purchasing systems. A vendor-hosted SaaS model with robust user role permissions is preferred, ensuring broad accessibility through a responsive mobile application or web interface.
