Meals
Menus that scale
Plan per day and per meal, with cook teams attached. Change the headcount and quantities follow; the chili for forty becomes chili for sixty-two without a calculator.
What's inside · Meals
Cooking for sixty without losing friends
The kitchen is the heart of a camp and its most reliable source of drama. burnmanager gives the kitchen lead what every other lead already has: a plan that survives contact with sixty hungry people.
Meals
The allergy matrix fills itself
Diets and allergies come straight from member profiles. Three vegan, two gluten-free, one no onions: the cook team sees it before the shopping run, not at the serving table.
Meals
Shopping lists that write themselves
Every menu rolls up into one list, organized for bulk stores and pallet pre-orders, which veteran camps use to cut food costs by more than half.
Why this module exists
The community's rule of thumb is about ten dollars per person per day, two meals a day, and menus that survive heat and no refrigeration. The winning pattern is pre-cooking and vacuum-sealing at home; the losing pattern is discovering a campmate's allergy on playa.
One more thing the calendar knows: at Black Rock City, gifting food to the public or running a communal kitchen for more than 125 campers requires a health permit. burnmanager reminds you before it matters.
Questions camps ask
Does my camp need a health permit?
At Black Rock City: only if you gift food or drink to the general public, or run a communal kitchen for more than 125 campers. The year planner tracks the application window for you.
How do dietary needs get collected?
Automatically. Members fill in their profile once; every menu shows the matrix for the people actually present that day.
Can cook teams work from paper?
Yes. Every cooking day prints as a prep sheet: menu, quantities, allergies, team and shifts.
