Holistic Recommendations for School Nutrition Operations

Together, we'll explore the categories most important to a successful nutrition services program.

Program Goals

First things first. A simple, clear goal for your nutrition services is vital to an effective program. Additionally, the goal should tie to the department's vision and mission as well as the overall district's goals or strategic plan.

Menus and Recipes

With so many options to create and manage menus and recipes, we streamline our recommendations by understanding your current food offerings, displays, student feedback cycles, and future expansion opportunities.

Meal Service Operations

We really shine when combining our operations expertise with nutrition services experience. Using data as our guide, we review all of your meal service operations to find improvements across workflows, service times, staffing, and more.

Financial Analysis

Strong financial performance is key to a successful nutrition program. Our experts leverage tools to track participation rates and menu evaluations while also reviewing additional revenue opportunities.

Procurement

In alignment with your district's purchasing guidelines, we assess your department's efficiency and effectiveness as it purchases goods for nutrition services including vendor management, local vendor opportunities, buying groups, and funding.

Facilities and Equipment

Elevate the overall nutrition services experience for your community through an analysis of your cafeteria environments, replacement cycle management, preventative maintenance planning, and menu alignment.

Community Engagement

Better understand the story your community believes about your department, and then learn ways to develop or increase the community's involvement across events, social media, and more.

Staffing

In partnership with our human resources experts at CESO, we dive deep into your overall nutrition services employee experience and work culture including recruiting, hiring, training, scheduling, feedback, and communication practices.

Wellness

Food is intertwined with health and wellness. If your district has a Wellness Policy, we ensure your nutrition services program aligns with its intent and also provide recommendations on how often to review your policy and bring it to life.
