SCHOOLS & CO CONCEPT
We believe when students have a say in their canteen and the food, they are more likely to make healthier choices, which we believe will help schools see improved health and learning outcomes.
The core focus of the Schools & Co concept is to create delicious food from sustainable, fresh and seasonal produce and providing the students with the best and memorable canteen experience and environment.
​
We do this by listening too and having our chefs, nutritionists, and design teams work with the students in the early stages, to ensure they get the best food and dining environment and space.
BETTER HEALTH & EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
Teams and students will help devise healthy menus that deliver well balanced, nourishing and delicious meals. They will also co-create and co-design the service experience and environment to ensure they get the best food and canteen dining memorable food experience.
We are also giving the students a voice and opportunity in helping to promote better health and well being, and in making sure that the food & canteen at their school is an inclusive one.
As a responsible caterer, we are dedicated to playing active role in supporting good nutrition and promoting healthy eating and will provide great food-based activities for students of all ages that will help foster healthy eating habits
