The simple solution to planning & production
MCS Edison completely integrates your menu planning, ordering, inventory, and bid management functions into one easy-to-use system that’s designed to give you complete control of all your program data.
Unlimited recipes & menus
Create unlimited recipes and menus by user-defined school type, perform nutrient analysis by projected or prepared servings and print menus in a variety of formats.
Minimize costs & waste
Track leftovers and choose to discard them, restock, or plan to use them another day. With better insight into your production, you can work to reduce food waste and inventory costs.
Control your data
Whether you want to track Delivery Routes or Driver Information, you can create custom fields for any data points you need to organize and filter by.
Accurate inventory
All your menu planning and inventory changes are automatically synchronized between the central office and your school sites for accurate inventory counts.
Be regulation ready
MCS Edison adheres to all the latest state and federal guidelines regarding the nutrient analysis of your menus.
Share menus with families
With our powerful MealViewer integration, you’ll be able to automatically push your menus from MCS Edison into MealViewer to share with students and parents.
Manage menus with ease
With ad-hoc menu planning, menus can be built directly on the menu template by dragging and dropping recipes to a selected day. Copy and paste individual days or multiple days onto the calendar to speed up the menu building process.
Automate ordering process
Automatically order new items based on menu counts and inventory on-hand for greater accuracy and control.
Flexible physical inventory
Choose between performing a blind physical inventory at individual sites, or allow users to view counts based on perpetual inventory when entering in physical counts.
