Over the years, Elevation has been proud to help provide true partnerships with great school nutrition directors and their staff. Whether you work with us or someone else, we believe it's important to consider a few important factors when looking for a foodservice equipment and supplies partner.
Elevation's 3-Step Commitment to K-12 School Nutrition Professionals:
1) To Share Our Expertise in School Nutrition
When searching for a K-12 school nutrition resource partner, prioritize expertise in school nutrition. Look for a partner with a deep understanding of the unique challenges and regulations governing school meal programs, especially concerning your unique district or region.
Elevation is dedicated to staying in front of changing regulations and trends, not just in school foodservice but across the entire industry. Many solutions that work in fast-casual restaurants, for example, might also apply in school cafeterias. When combining school foodservice knowledge with general industry knowledge, we offer our K-12 customers a holistic approach to their challenges.
2) To Be Reliable and Responsive
Choose a partner known for prompt and reliable service. School nutrition directors operate within tight schedules and budgets, and delays or disruptions can have significant repercussions. It's essential to select a partner who can provide timely support, whether it's sourcing equipment, replenishing supplies, or troubleshooting issues.
Elevation is dedicated to reducing wait times when sourcing new equipment solutions and troubleshooting service issues on existing ones. We realize time is of the essence in a school cafeteria, and our commitment is to ensure that school nutrition directors have the support they need to keep operations running smoothly.
3) To Always Lead with Innovation
Labor challenges exist across the foodservice industry, and this is certainly true in school cafeterias, as well. The reality isn't as bleak as it might seem, though. Today's foodservice equipment manufacturers are leading with innovation and automation with every new design, making life easier for today's operators.
Seek a partner who demonstrates innovation and adaptability, providing insights into these trends and innovations. Our team is dedicated to finding the most innovative equipment in the industry, and the results aren't just labor savings. Innovation from Elevation can also reduce overhead, enhance throughput, and raise food quality.
