28Tips for Increasing Revenue
1. Menu Planning
Offer a variety of food items that meet student preferences and require minimal
labor.
A. Purchase single serving packages for extra food items.
EXAMPLE:
Use honey, syrup and jelly packets instead of allowing students to
take unlimited quantities. Control number of packets available for each student.
B. Bid prepared foods to reduce labor involved in preparation.
EXAMPLE:
Purchase pre-baked muffins, assembled breakfast pizza, pre-baked
egg and cheese burritos
C. Offer branded products, if appropriate.
EXAMPLE:
Smucker’s Uncrustables.
2. Extra Sales
Offering additional food items or selling food separately for a la carte provides
additional revenue to the Child Nutrition Program.
A. Do some research at convenience stores and fast food outlets to see what items
are popular and healthy.
EXAMPLE:
Bottled waters, juices and snack foods might be the items students
will purchase. Ensure that healthy options are available to students.
B. Allow students to purchase a second serving of any item offered.
EXAMPLE:
Notify parents of this option by indicating on weekly menus that
additional food may be purchased during meal service.
3. Serving Site
If the students congregate at a location other than meal service areas, sell foods at
that location.
A. Use mobile serving carts for student convenience and for commercial
appearance.
EXAMPLE:
Use a transport cart with an awning in the hall to serve breakfast
and/or lunch.
