Reduce food waste
Up to 78% of food waste in both primary and secondary schools is avoidable.
Food is prepared but not served - this is the likely outcome of a school without a meal ordering system, as the kitchen must prepare for an unknown number of children with unknown preferences.
Cooking meals to order will reduce this issue. With a good catering system in place, schools can have more control over the waste from school meals.
