Menu Sandbox

Menu Sandbox

The Menu Sandbox is a feature designed to help users test out their menu options and ensure compliance with Admin Review requirements. It provides a simulated testing environment where users can experiment with different menu options. To access the Menu Sandbox, simply select it from the left-hand side menu.

Once you're in the Menu Sandbox, you can create a new menu by selecting the [+] button. It's recommended that you use a consistent naming convention, such as MASTER Week 1 Elementary Lunch Menu or MASTER Week 1 Middle Lunch Menu. Then, choose the appropriate meal session, grade range, and operating days, and select Create.

To ensure efficient menu planning, it's recommended that you add your commonly used items to Monday and then copy them to the rest of the week. These items could include Milk, Chocolate Milk, Fruit, and so on. Once you've added these items to Monday, you can proceed to add the remaining items and recipes to each day of the week. This approach saves time and streamlines the menu planning process. 

To add items to the menu select Add New Item or Advanced Search. Adding a New Item will search your local database for items. Search for an item then select [Save & Close].
