Centre manager or director
The assessor is at the door. Can you find the kitchen records?
Food-safety records with a name and a time on every entry, in one place. Press Print.
Food-safety records with a name and a time on every entry, in one place. Press Print.
Records are in three folders and one cook’s head.
Paper gets lost, and handwriting is hard to read.
With KindyMenu: 10 record registers in one place: staff certificates, thermometer calibration, pest control, complaints, food recalls and more.
You can’t tell who wrote what.
A shared tablet, one login, no names.
With KindyMenu: Each person signs in under their own name with a PIN, so you can see who recorded what.
The cook is away and nobody knows the routine.
Relief staff arrive with no handover.
With KindyMenu: Menu, recipe cards, each child’s allergies and today’s checks are in the app. The cook on the day still checks allergies and swaps.
Kitchen consulting
Too much depends on memory and paper? Every lunch a rush?
A kindy kitchen is one connected system. We look at four parts of it, so your team gets more time, less stress, and everything visible.
We work alongside your chef and manager, not over them. Your chef knows the kitchen best. We help remove what gets in the way.
Example only
We prefer an on-site visit. The real picture is only visible in person: how the kitchen is organised, the processes, the people in the kitchen and the rooms, and how the manager runs it. Outside Queensland, or if you are far away, we start with an online meeting.

Founder of KindyMenu
30+ years as a head chef · Food Safety Supervisor
I spent more than 30 years in restaurants and hotels, as a head chef and as a group executive chef. I know how a professional kitchen is run, and what matters when food is prepared: a clear process, a record someone else can read, and no step left to memory.
After my child was born, I changed careers and went to work in a childcare kitchen. The work there was still on paper, written on a knee. Thousands of sheets, and they get lost. Handwriting is hard to read. You cannot tell who wrote what.
I looked for a program made for childcare kitchens. I did not find one in Australia or New Zealand. So I built KindyMenu myself. It follows the way a head chef thinks. The menu, the allergy, the cost and the food-safety record sit in one place. A cook can read them on the day, and a parent can see the week.
