ORDEA helps facilities and parents organise meals. Depending on your arrangement, you can order or cancel meals and review your account.
Your facility provides access to the platform and explains how to use it.

The planetary diet combines care for human health with care for the environment. In everyday menus, it means more vegetables, fruit, pulses and wholegrains, and more mindful choices about animal products. It is not about one “perfect” plate, but variety across the whole menu.
Lentils, chickpeas, beans and peas can form the basis of soups, sandwich spreads and main courses. Wholegrain bread, groats and pasta provide energy and fibre. Offer vegetables and fruit in different colours and forms, choosing seasonal produce when available.
Children learn about food through everyday experiences. Varied meals help them become familiar with new flavours and build habits they may carry into later life. Water instead of sweetened drinks, vegetables at several meals and a sensible amount of highly processed food are simple steps that can be introduced gradually.
New requirements for meals served to children and young people in educational institutions have applied since 1 September 2026. They reflect the planetary diet by placing greater emphasis on pulses, vegetables, fruit and wholegrains. We discuss the details in the second part of this article.
At Weranda Smaków, we focus on freshness, variety and meals suited to children’s ages. Our dietitian plans the menus, and we introduce changes with taste and the needs of facilities in mind.
