As Unique as Your Students
We are committed to working with you to create an ideal meal experience with menus that are as unique & diverse as your students. Our wide range of food items can be customized to satisfy specific age groups and dietary needs.
Our Menus
Our team is constantly working on recipes and new meals designed with your students in mind. We have deep roots in the communities we serve which is the reason every meal is designed to meet the likes of our local students.
We believe that the best way to create a functional food service model is to partner with your school from the beginning. Every school’s needs are different, and we are committed to creating a unique level of service that works best for you.
If you have a new and innovative idea for service or meals, we would love to collaborate with you.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it help students stay focused and engaged, but it also provides the energy they need to start their day.
Our roots are in school breakfast and we provide our schools with healthy, tasty and compliant breakfast menus. Your students deserve a variety of breakfast options that include hot meals. We are constantly working to provide new and exciting menu items.
Breakfast Service Model

We provide the most efficient models available for breakfast service. Shelf-stable breakfast items are packaged in a sealed bag for easy distribution to students before school, in the classroom or during nutrition break.

go breakfast in their backpack for later consumption.grab’n
Classroom Breakfast
Many logistical problems come to mind when considering Classroom Breakfast. Staffing? Cleanup? Class disruption? A combined effort of staff, teachers, custodians, and students have made Classroom Breakfast a success.

With Better 4 You Meals, the school day just got better & healthier. Kids love to eat healthy food— but only if it tastes good. We deliver healthy options without sacrificing taste.
When asked what their favorite part of the school day is, most kids will say lunch. We use lunch as an opportunity to deliver meals kids choose to eat— to guide healthy choices and establish habits for healthy generations to come.
Menu Variety
