Minute Menu to Kids Kare

[Leigh]

Reviving this to say I've been forced over to KidKare and I hate it. It is so much more time consuming. I don't have time for this! UGH! Considering just quitting the food program all together and raising my rates--I hate it that much.

The ONE pro to it is that it runs better on my computer.

I thought it was supposed to be modernized and so much easier! My FP sponsor hasn't even heard of KidKare, so I am guessing it will be a while before I make the switch.

I haven't had issues. If I had a lot of kids it'd be annoying because you have to select each kid for every meal and it's kinda annoying. They need a select all.

So, eventually everyone using MM will be switched to this KK program instead? I sure hope they get all the kinks worked out before we get it. Doesn't sound like much fun.

Kid Kare has webinairs available to learn how to use it. They even provide a certificate, the trouble is doing one of them during the day.

I found it on youtube too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9aSCYltVjU
I just got done watching it, I looks much better that minute menu by a long ways but I do see some things that are annoying.

Now it's December, and still no accounting

I made the mistake of going in and looking at Kid Kare to see what it was about. My access to my Minute Menu has now been cut off. I cannot update anything and I cannot create invoices. Since the accounting features of Kid Kare are STILL not ready to go, 4-6 months after being promised, I will now have to figure hours and invoices by hand. There is also no place to track expenses, tax information, or anything like that. This is going to be a nightmare at tax time. I cannot believe that they would put out such a horrible website and call it an improvement on an existing program that was wonderful, intuitive, user-friendly. It just boggles my mind how this company has even stayed in business.

To make it even better, I have a paid subscription that goes through July. So not only is the program now worthless, I am paying for the privilege of NOT being able to use it.

Oh No!!?? Have you tried contacting MM and telling them you have a current paid subscription? I don't understand why they'd cut you off just because you were checking KK out, that doesn't make any sense.
At our last FP training, we were told we're going to have to switch this coming year and suggested we check out the site beforehand. Well, to heck with that! Why do they feel the need to mess with an already good thing? I hate change, especially when it's full of kinks and bugs. I may decide to quit the FP too.

That's odd. I use KK for the food program and minute menus accounting still. I haven't been locked out of one or the other. Did it give you an error? I would definitely contact them!

Good to know. I have the opposite problem - I'm trying to switch to KK and have my MMK Pro data migrate over but so far nothing they've told me to do has worked. I have a MMK Pro account subscription that ends in February and a completely empty KK account.

Same problem here! I want it all in one place!

My MMK Pro does not expire until Oct 2017, will they force my hand? Says I can still add time if I choose.

I don't submit anything, I use it for my own taxes and records.

I was forced to go to KK yesterday...so now I see what this other person was saying. Because I use the food program and am subscribed to MMK Pro, it didn't give me an option to just keep using MMK. Now my MMK Pro says it's expired.

Would be great but I can't mark any of my invoices as paid right now cus it's giving me an error. Tried it on two different browsers. Hopefully they can fix all these bugs quickly! I cannot print any receipts right now

Soooo....I logged into KidKare today and it said my accounting info will be migrated over to KidKare and it would take a minute or two. All went well. I did have to redo my reoccurring invoices.

Will you still be able to print W-10's and all other tax forms? Can you still edit 2016 as needed? My fear is it will lose all my previous years tax stuff and prevent me from being done on time this year. I will be expected to have all that printed, in hand, come Jan 1st.
