For owners and operators
See what every centre pays for food, and where to pay less.
A 70-child centre spends about A$1,300 a week on food, about A$67,600 a year. KindyMenu shows food cost per child per day for every centre, each item's price centre by centre, and every child's allergies in front of the cook.

See what every centre pays, then ask for a better price
KindyMenu shows what each centre pays each supplier for the same item, side by side. One centre pays A$6, another A$5 for the same item: now you know where to ask. Build one order for several centres and send it yourself.
Example figures from a head chef's own kitchen. Your numbers will differ.
What owners want to be sure of
Know-how stays with the centre
Recipes with weights, swaps and logs live in KindyMenu, not in one head or a notebook.
Every allergy in front of the cook
A swap suggestion for each child, checked and signed by your chef. Every check has a name and a time.
Food cost per child, every week
About A$3.71 per child per day in our example (A$1,300 ÷ 70 children ÷ 5 days). Tap a centre to see what was bought, when, from whom.
Records ready when the assessor visits
Menus on display, records and registers in one place. The director presses Print.
