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.

What Makes MISTAR-Q Food Service Different

Connect cafeteria operations with real-time student data for faster service, better reporting, and improved family communication.

Direct Certification

Automatically match student records with state and federal eligibility data to streamline approvals.

Health Alerts

Protect student safety with built-in alerts for allergies, dietary restrictions, and health-related meal notes.

Custom Cafeteria Notifications

Send balance alerts, low-fund reminders, or menu updates through the Parent Portal or email.

Free & Reduced Applications

Easily process and track applications, with access to full submission history and status updates.

Community Survey Tools

Gather household income data through custom surveys to support CEP and funding eligibility.

Configurable Cafeteria Policies

Set rules for meal charges, alternate meals, and serving preferences based on district guidelines.

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.
