To use the School Food Ingredient Registration Platform, you first register an account and fill in the school's basic details and meal headcount settings. You can also choose whether to use ingredients supplied by another school or by an institutional caterer. Once logged in, you can view every dish for the current day or any other date and click through for the detail. Under Meal Service Operations you can create menus and select the serving kitchen, meal date and meal type. Under Basic Data Management you can amend school information and account applications. To accept a menu or ingredients, go to Goods Acceptance, select the date, then load the acceptance data and check the certification labels and traceability QR code. Where there are problems or gaps, report them to the relevant authority or user.

  • Dish and ingredient data maintenance: the platform supports maintenance of dish and ingredient records, keeping information current.
  • Seasoning maintenance: a maintenance function for seasoning data, making food information more complete.
  • Missing-entry report queries: school administrators can query reports on missing meal service entries, so gaps can be dealt with promptly.
  • Retrospective entry applications: the platform supports retrospective entry, letting school administrators add or correct ingredient information.
  • Supplier maintenance: schools can maintain supplier information, keeping the supply chain transparent.
  • Headcount settings: a function for setting meal headcounts, helping keep serving volumes accurate.
