To **manage recurring student services such as meals and transport**, register each student's subscription with service type, days and price, generate daily lists for the kitchen and drivers and send monthly totals to billing.

In **Jestor**, subscriptions, daily lists and changes requested by parents are connected, so every team works from the same updated data.

## Why are recurring services hard to manage?

Meals and transport change often: new students, days off, route changes, dietary restrictions. Updates arrive by message.

Kitchens prepare the wrong number of meals, drivers wait for absent students and monthly charges do not match the services used.

## What problems does service management solve?

- Daily lists outdated by recent changes
- Dietary restrictions not reaching the kitchen
- Transport routes with wrong passengers
- Monthly charges with errors
- Parent requests lost in messages

## How do I manage recurring services in Jestor?

1. **Create a subscriptions table** with student, service, days, route or menu and price.
2. **Collect change requests** from parents through a form or **WhatsApp**.
3. **Generate daily lists** with filtered views by service and day.
4. **Record dietary restrictions** on the student record, visible to the kitchen.
5. **Send monthly totals** to billing and the **ERP**.

| Team      | View                            |
| --------- | ------------------------------- |
| Kitchen   | Meals per day with restrictions |
| Drivers   | Passengers per route and day    |
| Secretary | Change requests                 |
| Billing   | Monthly totals per student      |

## How do I handle daily absences?

Parents can report absences through a form or WhatsApp message, which updates the day's list.

The kitchen and drivers see the change on their mobile view without extra calls.

## Why use Jestor for student services?

- **One base for all teams**: kitchen, drivers and billing share the data.
- **Filtered daily lists**: always up to date.
- **Parent requests recorded**: WhatsApp messages become cards.
- **ERP integration**: monthly charges sent to **Omie** or **Conta Azul**.

Clear deadlines for change requests help every team. If parents know that changes must arrive by a certain time to be valid for the next day, the kitchen and drivers receive stable lists and fewer last-minute surprises.
