VDOE School Lunch Program Participation - All Meal Types - Oct 2019-2020
Average Daily Participation [ADP] is the average number of reimbursable student meals served in a school nutrition program on a daily basis. Monitoring the program’s ADP can help forecast and determine the program’s labor requirements and food or non-food purchasing projections. This helps to minimize waste and control costs. ADP can also be used to evaluate the popularity of menu options, assess productivity, gauge customer satisfaction, and identify participation goals for the program.
