💰 WHAT THIS CALCULATOR DOES FOR YOU
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most daycare owners assume CACFP is helping them — but never actually check the numbers. This tool was built specifically so YOU can stop guessing and finally see:
✔ Your REAL food cost per child (weekly, monthly, and annually)
✔ Exactly what CACFP reimburses vs. what you actually spend
✔ Whether you're profiting OR losing — with a clear dollar amount
✔ Where your hidden money leaks are hiding
✔ What happens to your profit if you adjust meals, enrollment, or budget
No accounting degree needed. No spreadsheet experience required. Just enter your numbers — it does everything else.
