Run Your Food Program in Minutes a Day — Not Hours a Week
You didn’t open a center to do paperwork. But if you’re self-sponsored on the CACFP, the paperwork found you anyway: menus, meal counts, production records, enrollment forms, receipts, and a claim that has to be right every single month.
All of It, in One Place
CenterPilot puts all of it in one place. Your teachers record meals as they serve them. Your menus check themselves against CACFP meal patterns. Your production records calculate quantities from the USDA Food Buying Guide automatically. And when claim time comes, the numbers are already there — checked, organized, and ready for your state.
At $40 a month, it’s priced for a center’s budget — not a corporation’s. (The leading competitor charges $129 a month for the same job.)
