Meal counts for sponsors who check.
If you are on CACFP, the count is part of the money. It is also the difference between a child with a milk allergy and a child who was simply marked present.
Count at the point of service, by child. Do not copy the morning roster into lunch. Infants are not on the preschool pattern. An allergy changes the meal and stays visible on the file so a substitute is not guessing.
Honeyfold stores that count and the flag. Your sponsor decides what is creditable, what substitution form you need, and how the claim is filed. We will not decorate a menu and call it a reimbursable lunch.
The longer explanation is the point-of-service guide.
