Fresh Picks Cafe Testimonials

Successfully Balancing Nutrition, Health and Financial Requirements

"I have contracted with Cafe' Services for managing school district food service operations in three New Hampshire school districts since 1993.  They have successfully balanced the nutritional, health, budgetary and financial requirements, not as an outside contractor but as an extension of the school district operations.  They have been responsive to concerns, questions and special requirements of students, parents and staff.  They are viewed as part of our educational system and not as an outside contractor.

The Newport School District's goal of nutritional and healthy menus for students is the primary task in getting students ready to learn.  Cafe' Services has managed the food service operations in a professional and effective manner with proven results.  I highly recommend Cafe' Services to accomplish your goals and objectives for your food service operations."

Dedicated and Professional

"I have utilized Cafe' Services as a food service management firm for over a decade.  They are extremely dedicated and professional.  The quality of the food and the preparation is excellent.  They have never failed to listen to any concern or to act in the best interest of running a high quality food service program in a public school district."

Service, Nutrition and Value

"We depend on our food service vendor to provide nutritionally sound and filling meals at a low cost.  That is a tough balance of priorities and requires the collaboration of the vendor and the school district, with input from parents and students.  We have contracted our food service since 1981 and have worked with a number of national firms.  New England-based Cafe' Services has proven to be the best."
