### "KidKare opinion"

December 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the easiness of using the IN/OUT at the same time I can log the meal. Also the one click IN/OUT, if I leave the window open i simply click the child when they arrive and leave making the process much quicker and easier.

Cons

At times deletes menus I've imputed. Have to do a full check before submitting menu because of this.

### "SLow and very inefficient"

March 12, 2019

2.0

Terrible. Very ineffiecient. My time should be spent with children not waiting for system to enter meals.

Pros

I don't have any. Been using this since October 2019 and it is slow.

Cons

THis program runs so extremely slow. It takes 62 minutes to enter 1 week of menus. THere has to be a quicker way.

### "Time Saving System"

December 13, 2018

4.0

Using KidKare saves me money on paper supplies. All I have to do is submit my meal claims electronically to the Food Program and then I can check on the progress of my claim throughout any given month.

Pros

It is super easy to navigate and saves me so much time.

Cons

There isn't anything I have found as of yet that has given me any dislikes about the system.

### "My experience with KidKare"

December 10, 2018

5.0

The submission of the request for the funds allowed with the food program certainly would not be this easy if a paper submission was necessary. The time saved when I became familiar with the operation and the information that is available through it are great. When I have had a problem the help line was quick with the solution and the person I spoke with was always pleasant.

Pros

The ease of learning the peculiarities of the operation and that the most difficult part was letting the program do what it is designed to do, ease the input of meal information.

Cons

I have experienced an occasional unexpected glitch during an input operation, but it resolved itself when I moved on to another operation so it didn't required further concern.

Easy way to get my meals of my kids to the people that they need to go to in order to get paid .
