The cafeteria lunch isn't as bad as it used to be. Middle and high school kids are becoming more aware of their eating habits and the health options which are associated with it. There are certain restaurant supplies which make these trends easier to accommodate, too.

Let’s take, for example, the idea of made from scratch pizza. Honestly, while there are some people out there who still crave the not much better than cardboard pizzas of their youth, having something which has been created from scratch can really make the difference.

So, in order to really pull it off, you need pizza cutters, but it’s also helpful to have a Nemco pizza oven with you on the premises – just to make sure that it’s made right. Maybe a True worktop refrigerator to make things even easier? That way you can keep everything all in one place.

Maybe have a pizza station where students can have made from scratch crusts, and put their own toppings on the pizza? It’s definitely possible. Students and teachers are definitely becoming more savvy about their choices, and being pleased with food means that they’re likely to do better on tests. No one does well when they're hungry!

In addition to pizza, try adding a salad bar to your cafeteria line up. The fresh vegetables will provide students with healthy and colorful additions to their lunch options, giving them the sustained energy to focus and stay alert all day long. The cost may be slightly higher, but high school students and their parents will thank you for giving them better options which aren't unhealthy.
