Foodservice management is about employing outside expertise in the delivery of a school district's food program. It is really more "resourcing"-rather than outsourcing-in order to gain a distinct economic advantage and to realize a higher level of service, while allowing the school district to focus their resources and core competencies on educating children.
There are several common myths about foodservice management companies including reduced quality, loss of control and increased costs. In a majority of cases, school districts that partner with an outside provider actually find increased quality and more control through targeted, educated decisions with the guidance of K-12 foodservice experts. Resourcing your foodservice program provides value-added services in a complex business organization including:
- Operational Expertise, purchasing, food production
- Cash controls, meal accountability, operating statements
- Point of Sale systems
- Free & Reduced application acquisition
- Student and parent communications
- Regulatory awareness, leveraging commodities
- Marketing, merchandising, promotions, nutrition education
- HR management, training, labor relations
