Food Committee Readiness Tracker
0%
Food Ready
Purpose: This is the food committee’s quick “are we actually ready?” check. It is not the director’s whole-trek readiness score — it only tracks food operations.
Food Committee Tools
Use these tools after training to move from “we understand the food job” to “we have the food job organized.” Keep this section focused on the food committee’s real planning work: meals, quantities, budget, distribution, coordination, and load-out.
Best workflow: Watch the training videos first, build the Meal Operations Planner next, use the Food Quantity Calculator to check amounts, then use distribution/progress/load-out tools as trek gets closer. Water belongs partly with logistics, but food should still coordinate water for cooking, drinking stations, cleanup, and feast operations.
