More About TITAN
TITAN is a simple, intuitive, and totally integrated software. Its sleek, user-friendly interface has made the transition for our department easy.

What Is TITAN – A LINQ Solution
MT districts will be able to enjoy the entire TITAN enterprise solution, the fastest-growing school nutrition software solutions provider, absolutely free! We are thrilled to offer this upgraded functionality and improve your menu planning experience.
Why TITAN – A LINQ Solution
MT OPI vendor, Colyar Technology Solutions who is providing Cartewheel Menu Planner was recently acquired by LINQ. The acquisition now provides MT OPI access to TITAN, which is also a LINQ solution, and is a more established and supported menu planning tool.
Simple Menu Planning
Manage the entire food production workflow seamlessly with updates in real-time, and effortlessly plan, track, and report the nutritional value of every meal, including the Family Portal.
Online Training via TITAN Academy
TITAN’s comprehensive training and services program is designed to enable district and cafeteria staff to utilize the TITAN platform to the fullest extent. An industry first, self-paced, and online academy created to certify your staff to effectively use the TITAN platform and technologies. Be confident at go-live that your district and schools are configured to optimize success, serve meals, and track nutrition program performance.
Smart Inventory Management
How do you manage your inventory? How much do you have? How much is it worth? How much do you need? How much will it cost? Answer these questions in advance, in real-time. Enjoy insights from a single lunchroom to district-wide, track ingredients, manage USDA commodities, and affect intra-district transfers among schools and warehouses with any browser, from anywhere.
Integrated Production Records
Our production records combine real-time insights with documentation on inventory for menu planning and for compliance in temperature and quality control. Administrators can create security roles, granting variable levels of access to different users to add or delete items from production records, including the functionality to add “leftovers” or extra items.
Secure Family Portal
Through 24-hour, web-based, real-time, secure access to account, it’s easy to manage multiple children’s meal plans throughout a school district. Alert parents when funds are running low and enable them to add funds. With optional, free text, and email account notifications and the ability to add funds electronically from any browser, anytime, you can always be sure that meal accounts are adequately funded.
We’re in this Together
We understand that these changes impact your daily operations, your staff and service to your students. It is our goal to make this transition as easy as possible for you. We look forward to speaking with you soon to begin your TITAN experience!
