Something for everyone, every day means kids get excited about lunch, parents get to take a break, and schools enjoy an effortless program that's fully managed for them.
Why restaurants.
|
Since 2006, we've focused on a simple reality: people like different things, so one or two menu choices a day is not enough.
To get more kids to eat lunch at school, we turned to local restaurants because serving a wide variety of freshly prepared menu choices every day is exactly what they're built to do. Restaurants are so essential for school lunch to work for families, we built an entire company around them. |
Endless daily choices
|
Only restaurants can bring the kind of daily variety that makes a full daily lineup of menu items possible.
|
Freshly made in the morning
|
Freshly kneaded dough, soups simmering, sauces being stirred. Restaurant kitchens cook the lunches fresh every morning.
|
Fostering confidence and trust
|
When the lunches are coming from restaurants, you're able to try the food anytime and see lunch prepared in trusted kitchens that aren't out of sight and far from school.
|
Keys to consistency & familiarity
|
Restaurants run on consistency, and so do kids. Students want food that's familiar and they can trust will taste the same every time, which is exactly what restaurants are designed to deliver.
|
Building strong communities
|
Strong communities are powered by thriving local restaurants. Whether it’s a mom-and-pop, franchise or a local chain, including the neighborhood places families already love and trust is an easy and delicious way to support them.
