Meal programs that carry big responsibilities with small teams.
You feed your community and answer for the money, the meals and the records — often without a full management team behind you. Here's who I work with, and what we get working together.
School Nutrition Programs
Rural districts, small school systems, charter and alternative schools.
You feed hundreds or thousands of meals a day, keep the production records, run the bids, and explain the numbers to people who have never seen a cafeteria kitchen.
- Know your true cost per meal and whether your rate covers it
- Get clean, review-ready production and compliance records
- Build a finance routine your team can run without you
Childcare & Community Nutrition
Childcare centers, sponsors, afterschool and summer meal programs.
You carry the menu, the money and the monitoring — often for several sites at once — and one missed claim or one off portion can unwind a month of work.
- Turn CACFP records into a routine you can trust
- See whether your reimbursement actually covers your cost
- Train your staff so the records hold when you are out
Senior & Healthcare-Funded Meals
Home-delivered and congregate meals, Medicaid-funded services, Medicare Advantage meal vendors, adult day health.
Every meal is documented for a funder, a payer or a plan, and the contract math has to hold while the kitchen keeps running and the people you serve keep eating well.
- Build the records each payer expects
- Price the meal so the contract is sustainable, not just won
- Get ready for the audits that come with the money
Community Meal Nonprofits
Grant-funded and contracted meal programs.
You report the meals to the people who fund them and the money to the people who guard it — and the gap between the two is where you live every week.
- Match grant and contract reporting to what the kitchen produces
- Set up the financial tracking your funders want to see
- Make the program easier to run and easier to fund again
Foodservice Contractors
Small and growing companies bidding public and institutional meal contracts.
You price the bid with the numbers you have, then have to deliver the meals and the records to a number you promised before you knew your true cost.
- Price bids on your real cost, not a guess
- Keep the records the contract requires from day one
- Build the operations behind a business that can scale
