Central Kitchens are utilized by some school districts and are a centralized location where all meals are prepared for the entire district. The meals are then packaged and sent to the schools (sites) to served.

Central Kitchen Settings is where users can designate which Inventory items are prepared in-house so that when the items are ordered by a site and the Central Kitchen does not have enough on hand to satisfy the order.

NOTE: Users will need security access to Orders before Central Kitchen menu options display in Meals Plus.

• These prepared in-house items will not be put on a backorder for ordering.
• These prepared in-house items will be put on an open receipt at the Central Kitchen so the Central Kitchen knows what they need to prepare, and once prepared, can be received into inventory.
