How to use the Management Portal for ‘Site’

The Site screen is designed to give the Site Manager a window of information and access to the data relevant to Menu, POD operations and Reports. All data is in ‘realtime’ so as data is received – it will show instantly in this window.

Site Name
The site name is detailed in the top left of the main screen so you can check you have logged in to the correct site. If you do not see the site you are in, you need to logout and login with the correct site code. If you do not have another site code to enter, please contact POP support on 0330 123123.

The Site screen has 4 tabs: –

  • Menu Items – all menu items for each mealtime
