A Smarter Way to Manage School Meals

From eligibility verification to payment processing, our Food Service feature connects every step of the meal service process. Built directly into the MISTAR-Q SIS, it eliminates the need for standalone nutrition software and reduces data duplication.

Nutrition staff can manage cafeteria activity from one system while families benefit from a consistent experience. With integrated compliance tools, districts can meet USDA reporting requirements without juggling spreadsheets or exports.

We’re able to work with other Michigan schools and access people who have a lot more resources and expertise than I have or my district. We can tap into their expertise and configure a localized version of MISTAR-Q and share that back with other districts, which makes Michigan stronger for all of our students.
