CACFP Solutions FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Our Services, Software, and Support.
How Does CACFP Solutions Compare with ESCs?
ESCs are regional partners of TDA, responsible for rolling out Square Meals policies through mandatory training sessions, webinars, and labs. They also conduct scheduled audits of your program’s operations, financials, and records to ensure compliance.
How is CACFP Solutions different?
ESCs enforce the rules—we help you follow them. CACFP Solutions supports your daily operations by managing claims, applications, renewals, receipts, and reports each month. We reduce your workload so you can stay compliant without the administrative stress.
Do you replace ESC training or technical support?
Not at all. We reinforce ESC guidance by helping you apply it in real-world scenarios. When training and implementation go hand in hand, your program becomes stronger and more compliant.
How Is CACFP Solutions Different from a Sponsor?
Sponsors act as intermediaries between your center and TDA. They control your CACFP funds, set internal policies, manage compliance across sites, and submit claims for you. While this can be helpful, it often leads to delays, limited control, and one-size-fits-all systems.
CACFP Solutions is not a sponsor—we’re your support team. You keep full control of your contract and funding while we provide expert help behind the scenes.
Here’s how we’re different:
You stay in control of your CACFP agreement and funds.
You get paid faster with no delays from a sponsor.
You set the process—we adapt to your workflow.
You stay compliant with personalized support and guidance.
Bottom line: We deliver sponsor-level support—without the sponsor-level restrictions.
