The Behind the Meals Challenge
5 days to build your program's operating system.
So the meals, the money and the paperwork stop living in your head. 20 minutes a day, with a real plan at the end.
For leaders of school nutrition, childcare, senior meal and community meal programs, and the contractors who serve them.
You're carrying the meals, the money and the paperwork.
Cash is always tight, even when the reimbursement or contract money comes in.
Program rules and records keep you up at night before every review.
One person holds all the knowledge, and there's no time to plan.
You don't have a hard-work problem. You have a systems problem. Let's build the system behind the meals.
