School Food Service
Here’s a tough question: would you rather read through information on 12 different companies that provide contract management for school food service, or sit down to a plate of warm, chef-prepared sweet Italian sausage calzini?
Exactly. Food is exciting — and Taher never forgets that.
Neither will your students.
Our enthusiasm for food translates directly into a better experience for K-12 lunch students: meals made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Dishes prepared from scratch. Menus and display cooking sessions inspired by our Chef Council’s world travels. Plenty of healthy options, supplemented by nutrition information and education.
In other words, we want your students to eat the best food possible, now and for life.
How will this food-centric approach fit into your district? Seamlessly. After more than 30 years in this business, Taher knows what it takes to create successful, profitable partnerships. We’ll go above and beyond your school board’s requirements by taking the lead on progressive nutritional guidelines, implementing forward-thinking environmental practices, and, of course, easing the strain on your district’s overworked budget.
More than that, we’ll do everything it takes to make sure you’re comfortable with the relationship. You’ll rest easy knowing Taher will make a long-term commitment to your district, students, staff, and the entire school community. Simply put, we exist to make your job easier.
Which means you’ll be able to put down the paperwork, and go get that calzini.
Taher’s K-12 school food service management offerings.
Taher’s nutrition awareness education program centers around a positive character named NUTRA KID™, which represents good eating practices. NUTRA KID™ helps teach children the importance of developing good eating habits that
extend beyond school lunch. “You Are What You Eat” promotional materials encourage everyone to make wise food choices to improve their attitude toward nutrition.
One goal of the program is to create enthusiasm among children and teachers by incorporating nutrition into the school curriculum. Taher has created several marketing promotions using NUTRA KID™ as a tool to encourage children to choose a variety of foods. Students can access nutritional links on the Web, and on-site posters provide nutritional information on students’ favorite foods.
Taher is committed to assisting in nutrition awareness education for children, parents and school personnel. This partnership will 
allow our message to reach all students, and help them develop a positive attitude toward eating that will last a lifetime.
With Taher’s innovative food court system, school lunch lines move more efficiently,
