Participating providers may use the Minute Menu System at no charge; this is a great way to keep track of your menus and attendance in a convenient, secure, Internet-based format, with the option to utilize the business portion (through which you can produce reports, certificates, etc. and gain access to other useful resources for running your business). Don’t have access to a computer? You can still participate using paper forms.
