Digital Menus

We have been instructed that computer failure is not a sufficient excuse for not seeing menus at a visit. Please print your menus at least weekly to prevent deducted meals and some headaches for you if your computer crashes or has other "issues". Also, completed menus must be on premises in order to be counted.

Meal Times

Meal service times must be in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • Scheduling Meal Times - Two hours must elapse between the beginning of one meal service and the beginning of another, except that four hours must elapse between the service of a lunch and supper when no snack is served between lunch and supper.
