On-line Claiming with Minute Menu Kids

When you choose Minute Menu, you get the best software system available for Food Program Sponsors.  But you also get industry leading software for your child care providers to help them claim on-line and even help them with other areas of their child care business.

What is Minute Menu Kids?

Minute Menu Kids is a software that can either be run thru the Internet Explorer web browser or downloaded and installed on a provider's computer.  It allows your providers to quickly and easily record their food program claims on-line, completely free.  They can enroll children (sending you signed copies of those USDA enrollments, but dramatically reducing your time to deal with new enrollments), withdraw children, mark children as being served a meal, record daily in/out times (if you require that), record foods served, plan foods ahead of time, and submit their claims to you.  They can even review claim errors after you process the claim, and print their own direct deposit receipts, which can completely eliminate your monthly paper and postage costs to those providers!

We have extensive supporting material to help you roll out on-line claiming, including color flyers that we can print out with your agency's contact information to help encourage providers to claim on-line.  Click here for a sample.

Minute Menu Kids Pro

But with Minute Menu Kids, you get more than just an on-line claiming tool.  With an upgrade to Minute Menu Kids Pro, Providers get a wealth of family child care business management tools.  They can invoice parents, collect payments from parents electronically, do their taxes (with tips to maximize tax savings), print out certificates for the children, create charts, even put together daily reports for parents.  And thanks to our partnership with Redleaf Press, Minute Menu Kids Pro offers the on-line Calendar-Keeper, allowing them to plan activities and lessons for the kids and otherwise stay totally organized.  Minute Menu Kids Pro can be purchased by Providers, or you can buy it at a discount to make it available to all your Providers.  Click here for lots of detailed information on Minute Menu Kids and Minute Menu Kids Pro.

Recruit Providers by Offering Free On-Line Claiming

Either way, Minute Menu Kids is a great way to recruit new Providers to your food program.  Think especially of those Tier 2 providers that previously dropped off the food program because it was too much work for not enough money.  With Minute Menu Kids, you can go back to these Providers and offer them free software to record their food program claim info in seconds, so there's no more paperwork hassle.  And to top it off, using Minute Menu Kids Pro they get all kinds of other features to do their taxes and help manage their child care businesses!
