Food Handler and Manager Training
Food handlers
All staff who handle or serve food will need at least a food handlers certification. If you do not have a Food Handlers Card, or if your card is about to expire, please complete it before the start of school.
Food Managers
Each SFA will need at least one certified Food Manager, this is usually completed by the food service director. Click the button to our preferred course. This can take up to a week or longer to complete and schedule the test, so start early.
NSLP Food Service Essentials Training
It’s time to be back to basics and back to normal. Whether you are brand new or just a little rusty, this course will provide the basics to get you serving compliant meals on the first day of school.
Bonus
If you would like more information on OVS, meal patterns, and reimbursable meals. Watch this!
Offer v Serve and Meal Pattern Training
Fruit, vegetable, or both? You’ll know what to serve and when to serve it after this training. We cover the basic terminology, the USDA meal pattern, and Offer v Serve best practices. Pay attention, there’s a quiz too.
Production Records Training
Paperwork! It goes by many names: DVR, Transit Logs, Production Sheets, MPR, Daily Meal Records. There is no option to not complete it (blame the USDA), but it doesn’t need to be a daily struggle. This quick course will give you the basics of what to document daily. Be sure to check with your vendor as well because their templates may be slightly different.
Point of Serve System (Mealtime POS)
If you use Mealtime, we have linked a quick refresh and a detailed training below.
All point-of-service systems must be located at the end of the line
Students must self-identify (Name, PIN, Barcode) Start getting your barcode ready now
You can never back-in meal counts (ie: use attendance records)
Always check your meal counts against your production records after every service for accuracy, if the meals don’t make it into the computer, they won’t be reimbursed.
Keep a paper backup roster by the POS just in case.
No matter which POS you use, remember:
