School Dietary Requirements System
Confidently manage pupils’ allergies and dietary needs in one secure system, keeping your catering team informed and your school community safe.
A system built for:
Medical Needs
From allergies to long-term conditions, our system is designed to support every medical need with clarity.
Preferences
Built to ensure every pupil’s cultural and religious needs are recognised, respected and supported.
Requirements
Capture and manage dietary preferences in one clear, central place.
Built with safeguarding in mind
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.
Developed to address the everyday challenges
Dietary Requirements was developed to address the everyday challenges schools face when serving meals to pupils.
Serving unsafe meals
One error could trigger a severe allergic reaction or even fatal anaphylaxis.
Parental anxiety
Unclear communication about allergies leads to fear, mistrust, and children missing out on meals.
Outdate records
Schools often discover discrepancies what’s on file.
Human error
Stand-in team members may not know which pupils have allergies, putting children at risk.
No reliable system
Without a reliable system, Halal, vegetarian, and other dietary needs can easily be missed.
Reputational damage
A single allergy breach can make headlines and harm trust in your school’s care standards.
