Payment Invoices How Do You Handle This?

[beachgrl]

How do you handle keeping up with what parents pay?
Do you do a simple receipt book and hand them the copy each time they pay?
Do you keep track of it in an excel sheet or other type software for it?

I am trying to find a good method for this, thanks

I use MMK and enter each families hours each week.

I print out payment sheets and mark them each week when I am paid. I am old school. I like my info on hand so I can show parents if needed.

I use mmk and email everything including reciept.
Also if you choose to use mmk online payment program everything is 100% paper free and automatically updates.
All of my invoices are created in mmk,emailed to the parent and then when it's paid by check or cash, I send reciept via email. Otherwise online payments will give them a reciept after they submitt payment.

I would not work without mmk. I love it.. Lol

Is minute menu just used by those of you who do the food program? I haven't
decided yet if I am going to mess with the food program or not as it seems like a lot of hassle and with my drop ins right now no one would be here on time for a specific breakfast or even lunch for that matter for me to be cooking up entire meals for two kids whose schedules vary, it's too much. I know the food program uses minute menu for their menu submissions.

Does anyone use it just for keeping up with payments aside from the food stuff?
thanks all!

I don't use the food program, too many picky eaters.

I absolutely love the Minute Menu Kids program, though.

I use it for food program, but if I stopped the food program, I would definitely still use it! The Food Program is a small fraction of what I use it for.

It is an accounting program that you purchase so to answer your question you don't have to be on the food program to use it.

I use MMK and chilcarepay.com. I do not provide my parents with weekly or any other type of invoice. I have offered but they never want them anyway. I give them a W-10 the last week in dec and when/if someone drops.

[pfund2233]

I don't use any of the food program stuff as I'm not on it. I use it for the accounting stuff and keeping track of hours and payments!! Well worth the $70 for a year! Plus you get 30 day free trial to try it!!

I use a simple receipt book and issue an receipt after every payment.

I also send an invoice out the day before payday. I know parents should remember on their own, and I shouldn't have to ask, but I find that it occasionally slips their mind and I've never had that happen once I started sending weekly invoices.
