School Lunch Choice
School Lunch Choice
School Lunch Choice was started in 2007 as a growing number of charter schools and independent schools created the need for a fresh way of thinking about school lunch. At the time, founder Ben Burr was running a small school lunch catering business from several restuarants he owned. It quickly became obvious that a simple, user-friendly software program would be necessary to grow the school lunch catering business. He created a partnership with technical co-founder, Jared Rossean. Jared brought several years of POS, e-commerce, and shopping cart development to the table, and together, they created an online ordering system for school lunch. The development of this software enabled the school lunch catering business to achieve unthinkable levels of success. Within two years the business grew to service over thirty schools and tens of thousands of parents and students. The software processed millions of dollars of sales.Starting Price: $25 per month -
