◆ Background of New Version Development

Since its launch in 1996, "Meal-kun" has evolved by incorporating feedback from many dietitians as a system that comprehensively supports school lunch operations, including menu creation, nutritional management, and ordering. Its screen design, which considers visibility and operability, and its functions tailored to on-site needs, such as allergy support, have been highly praised, leading to over 1,000 implementations. It is utilized in a wide range of settings as a system that supports school lunch operations.

In "Meal-kun Ver. 6," we have reflected the voices from the field received to date, significantly improving usability by realizing an environment that can be used anywhere without installation, and further strengthening various functions.
