Optimization Software for School Nutrition

Empowering exceptional school nutrition programs through the freedom of informed decision-making

I like the sound of that, let’s talk!

Software That Puts Your Data to Work For You

It Really is That Simple.

School nutrition programs generate a ton of data from multiple sources and softwares. Wish there was a way to coordinate it all to unlock the answers about your menu and your program you are looking for? We did too, so we created MenuLogic K12. Now there is. 

MenuLogic K12 is the only optimization software in K-12 school nutrition. It uses existing real-time historical sales and production data (sourced from our intuitive production records) to inspire confident, data-driven decisions and transform school nutrition programs.  

Don’t Let Your Menu (and Your Budget) Run Unchecked. We Can Help.
