One connected platform for everything K-12 school food service β
from the warehouse to the lunch line to the federal reimbursement check.
The Problem Today
Menu planning in Excel, inventory on paper, claims in a different app. Nothing talks to anything.
Staff re-type the same data in 3 systems. Errors multiply. Time evaporates.
Inaccurate meal counts = money left on the table with USDA. Districts lose thousands every year.
The MiChoice Ecosystem
Every module shares the same database, the same student records, and the same AI engine. Update it once β it flows everywhere.

Product Lineup
Plain-English rundown β no jargon, no acronyms.

Touch-screen register in every lunch line. Cashiers tap meals, students punch their PIN, done in seconds.
Why it matters
Replaces clunky keyboards and paper rosters. Works offline if Wi-Fi drops.
Free & Reduced Applications

The AI Advantage
Not a chatbot bolted on top. Not a separate βAI add-on.β
Intelligence is woven into every screen your staff touches.
Spots unusual meal counts, suspicious transactions, or inventory discrepancies before they become audit findings.
Learns consumption patterns and suggests purchase orders before you run out of chicken nuggets.
Continuously monitors 7 CFR 245 rules, nutrition requirements, and claim accuracy β flags issues in real time.
"Show me participation by campus for October" β just type it. No report builder needed.
Built for Compliance
MiChoice was built from day one around USDA regulations β not retrofitted to pass an audit.
Student eligibility status is NEVER displayed at point of service. Neutral dot indicators replace text labels.
Every meal, every transaction, every edit β timestamped and traceable. Generate claim files with one click.
Parent-facing applications and communications available in English and Spanish out of the box.
Cashiers see only what cashiers need. Directors see the full picture. Nobody sees what they shouldn't.
Menu planning automatically checks against federal nutrition requirements and flags non-compliant recipes.
WCAG-aligned interfaces ensure all staff and parents can use every feature regardless of ability.
Why MiChoice
Not 9 separate apps duct-taped together. One shared database, one login, one truth.
Intelligence in every module from day one. Not a $50k add-on you buy next year.
We don't sell to hospitals, then bolt on a "school edition." Every feature is designed for school food service.
One contract. All modules. No surprise line items for "premium analytics" or "advanced reporting."
Touch-first, mobile-ready, dark mode β designed for real cafeteria environments, not 1990s desktop apps.
Designed, built, and hosted in the United States. Your student data never leaves the country.
On the Ground
MiMeals handles the rush. Big touch targets, fast PIN lookup, offline fallback. Cashiers love it because it just works.
