See how it fits →From K-12 districts across the Inland Empire and Greater Los Angeles to college campuses in Orange County, generic catering and delivery apps were not built for a 30-minute duty-free lunch. Here is what actually gets in the way, and what we fix.
California guarantees teachers a 30-minute duty-free lunch, but that's not enough time to leave campus and get a real meal, especially in food-sparse neighborhoods.
The cafeteria serves kids, closes by early afternoon, and the only break-room alternative is a vending machine lineup of candy, chips, and soda.
Food-service workers feed students while going hungry themselves, and instructional aides on short shifts fall outside meal-break laws.
Swing and graveyard custodians start at 4 or 5pm with no campus food options and only fast food open at that hour.

Why Schools & Campuses teams choose a fully managed MHP program over vending machines, delivery apps, and running an on-site kitchen.

Southern California's education workforce numbers in the hundreds of thousands, from K-12 districts to community colleges and CSU/UC campuses. The classified workforce skews heavily Latino, so Spanish-language ordering and Latino menu options are table stakes.
