Discover our Dietary Requirements module
Set dietary requirements
Build an allergen and dietary preference profile, covering the 14 core allergens as well as more specific requirements, including individual intolerances.
Create tailored menus
When a restriction is applied, pupils can only order from the relevant menu, preventing unsuitable choices.
Assign and confirm restrictions
Choose a pupil and record the relevant dietary requirements. The restriction must be confirmed by the parent in SCOPAY before meals can be ordered.
Clear visibility
Kitchen staff can have a clear visibility of required meals and dietary needs, minimising risks when serving.
Safer meals at hand
When parents log in to SCOPAY, they’ll only be shown meal options that are safe and suitable for their child’s dietary requirements.
Book a demo
Our team will provide a quick demonstration of the module so you can see how it works. We know schools are busy, so we keep it short and focused.
