Moving Days in Your Meal Plan

Sometimes you need to shift your meal plan dates forward or backward. The Move Days feature allows you to relocate planned meals from one date range to another without having to rebuild your meal plan.

When to Move Days

Common scenarios for moving days include:

  • Schedule changes: Facility closing or opening dates shift
  • Event rescheduling: Special events moved to different dates
  • Planning adjustments: Need to start your meal plan earlier or later
  • Holiday shifts: Observed holidays change your operating schedule

Step-by-Step Process

Important Notes

  • Moving preserves all settings: Serving sizes, substitutions, and customizations are maintained
  • Original dates are cleared: The “from” date range will be empty after the move
  • Overlapping dates: If the “to” range already has meals, they will be replaced

Alternative: Swapping Days

If you want to exchange the contents of two date ranges (rather than moving from one to another), use the Swapping Days feature instead.
