CACFP Labor Log

Track Food Program labor with confidence

KidKare Labor Log keeps centers on track and sponsors in control — with automated calculations, staff-level approvals, and exports built for CACFP state reporting.

Compliance Built Into Every Click

CACFP rules, privacy protections, and state requirements—all handled automatically. Labor Log was designed with federal compliance at its core, so you can focus on running your program, not chasing paperwork.

  • Wage data stays protected with role-based access controls
  • Only authorized admins can view or edit sensitive compensation information
  • Staff see their own records; admins control the big picture
  • Every labor log requires a digital signature from the staff member
  • Admin review and approval required before submission
  • Built-in verification prevents errors and ensures accountability
  • Admins enter hourly wages in a protected environment
  • System automatically links wages to logged hours
  • Generates precise CACFP expense totals without exposing sensitive data
