Customized Programs
We understand that every school community is unique. Our programs are designed to reflect the cultural, dietary, and lifestyle needs of each institution:
Vegetarian Options are always included.
Special Dietary Accommodations – Kosher, nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free meals are available upon request.
Unlimited Portions – Unlike traditional single-serving lunch models, we allow students to eat as much healthy hot entree, soup, salad, or sandwich as they need.
School Event Catering
Our catering services extend beyond daily lunches to support the broader school community. Whether for open houses, staff meetings, parent association gatherings, volunteer appreciation, holiday events, or graduation celebrations, fundraisers, we provide abundant, affordable, and tailored catering solutions.
A hot, catered meal creates a welcoming environment, allowing staff, parents, and volunteers to recharge and focus after enjoying food that is both nutritious and satisfying.
