2. Compliance Checklist: A reference sheet listing all regulatory and organizational compliance criteria for each meal type.
3. Ingredient & Allergen Tracker: A database of ingredients used across meals with associated allergen, dietary restriction, and sourcing data.
4. Weekly Compliance Dashboard: A dynamic dashboard providing real-time KPIs on compliance rates, issue trends, and team performance.
5. Instructions & Audit Log: A guide for users with step-by-step instructions and a log to record audits, corrections, and feedback.

=IF(COUNTIFS('Compliance Checklist'!$A$2:$A$100, "Allergen labeling present on menu board", 'Daily Meal Schedule'!$I$I, "Pending") > 0, "Non-Compliant", IF(AND(ISNUMBER(FIND("Milk", J2)), ISBLANK(J2)), "Non-Compliant", "Compliant"))
```

=COUNTIF('Daily Meal Schedule'!$I$2:$I$100, "Compliant") / COUNTA('Daily Meal Schedule'!$I$2:$I$100)
