EatecNetX for K-12 Schools
EatecNetX offers some very specialized functions for K-12 schools, in addition to the college and university feature list listed above, particularly in the areas of nutrition analysis, commodity tracking, production records and inventory valuation needed to plan healthy meals and meet audit requirements.

Nutrition functions are USDA approved and facilitate evaluation of meal plans and cycle menus for both forecast and post service analysis of the degree to which menu plans meet the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for nutrients and energy for any given age group, while not exceeding certain threshold of calories from fat. Menu planners can make modifications and substitutions with the touch of a few keys until their menus meet the requirements of the regulations.
