Schools and Businesses We Serve
Fresh Food Factor’s primary goal is to provide premier customer service while ensuring students have the necessary nutritional building blocks to complement the academic environment. We desire to adopt the unique culture of the schools we serve by becoming a part of the school family.
Fresh Food Factor provides the administrative support necessary to simplify the reporting process. We actively listen to our customers, seeking their valuable insights so that we can continue to improve their food service experience.
The Kids and End Users
For kids, healthy meals are especially important, as nutritious foods have the potential to aid students’ focus, energy levels, and overall health. This enhances the child’s academic performance in school. But the proof is in the chocolate pudding. If the children don’t eat their healthy meals, then what is the point?
Fresh Food Factor has a reputation of serving fresh, nutritional meals that kids love. We go beyond burgers and fries to serve a variety of local favorites including gumbo and red beans as well as favorites like BBQ chicken with mac and cheese, Chicken Parmesan, and Salisbury Steak with mashed potatoes and onion gravy.
