Electronic point-of-service meal capture on any tablet or phone — no paper rosters required.
ChildWatch® ePos is a mobile app that quickly captures child meals and attendance at the point of service — eliminating the need to mark paper rosters for later entry. After meal capture is complete, Meal Service Record (MSR) reports may be printed or saved for your records.
If you sponsor homes or centers, you know how easy it is for staff to fall behind on paper records, holding up your monthly claim. ePos eliminates that bottleneck entirely — meal capture becomes quick and simple for every staff member.
Staff log in using their personal PIN. This keeps the app secure and ensures accountability for every meal captured. Each session is automatically secured after use.
After login, the staff member selects the room for which they are capturing CACFP meals. Only rooms assigned to that staff member are displayed.
The room roster appears. A single tap marks a participant as receiving a meal; another tap marks "attendance only" (present but not eligible for the current meal). Once all marks are recorded, the data is saved instantly — no paper, no batch entry. The app is ready for the next room or the staff member can log out to upload the captured data.
The ePos app works on Android phones and tablets, as well as Apple iPad and iPhone. It operates offline during Internet outages and automatically syncs data when connectivity is restored — so meal capture is never interrupted.
