I'd like to thank your team for putting these tools together, and for the LunchAssist service. I have found the information/resources invaluable. I am grateful for all you/your team does to support CN Directors/Programs!
Rachel Gekas

I love the sense of security LunchAssist provides, the cheat sheets and checklists help me know I'm not missing anything. LunchAssist also provides inspiration to keep pushing me to make my program better and better. I love your conversational/casual style, it's fun and engaging. I'd much rather read your documents than a Management Bulletin any day!

LunchAssist PRO is truly a lifesaving tool. LunchAssist has allowed me to save so much time with easy access to the resources I need and the explanations that would take me way longer to figure out by myself.

Thank you to the amazing team at LunchAssist.
Chef Bethany Markee
Director of Child Nutrition, Orcutt Union School District
Working with LunchAssist this past year is one of the best decisions I have ever made. LunchAssist has been there every step of the way, keeping me on track and making sure I have everything completed. LunchAssist is like hiring an Assistant Director, but at a fraction of the cost.
Judy Reynolds
Director of Student Nutrition, Fallbrook Union High School District
I hired a consultant... I tell people all of the time it is the best money I have ever spent as a Director. I am trying to work smarter not harder these days.
Brian Chiarito

Thank you for the tremendous service and care that Lunch Assist has provided over the past couple of years. I know many of us confidently use and recommend Lunch Assist as a reliable resource. Y’all have undoubtedly made yourselves an asset and a meaningful name in the school food community.

I started 2 days before the world shut down for COVID and was not able to do any training with my predecessor or other directors so your programs have been a lifesaver for me. Wanted to use the bootcamp to help me develop systems and best practices just for every day - and of course for that AR when it eventually comes. So far it's been fantastic for that!
