Customizing “Day” labels

Wholesum gives you the flexibility to organize your menu plan in a way that matches how your trips actually run.

By default, your plan is structured by Day (Day 1, Day 2, etc.). But for many groups—especially outfitters—this doesn’t always reflect reality. You might be planning by camp, site, or location instead.

What is Day Settings?

Day Settings allows you to rename the word “Day” across your entire plan.

For example, you can change:

  • “Day 1” → Camp 1
  • “Day 2” → Camp 2
  • “Day 3” → Camp 3

This updated label will appear consistently throughout your plan.

Where this shows up

Once updated, your custom label will be reflected in:

  • The menu planning grid
  • Your PDF exports
  • Any place where days are referenced in your plan

How to change the label

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Under Meal planning, find Day labels & numbering and click Edit.
  3. Enter your preferred label, for example Camp, Site or Trip day (up to 18 characters).
  4. Optionally, choose to start numbering at 0 instead of 1.
  5. Click Save.

Day label settings

Day labels apply to meal plans that use Day Numbers rather than specific dates. See Meal plans without specific dates (Day Numbers).

That’s it—your plan will instantly update to use your new terminology.

When should I use this?

This feature is especially useful if:

  • Your meals are organized by camp location rather than calendar day
  • A single “day” spans multiple locations (or vice versa)
  • You want your plan to match how your team talks in the field

Example:
A rafting trip might look like:

  • Camp 1: Dinner, Breakfast, Lunch
  • Camp 2: Dinner, Breakfast, Lunch

Even if Camp 1 spans parts of two calendar days, your plan stays intuitive and easy to follow.
