BLD, Meet SNP.

SNP has BLD covered – breakfast, lunch, dinner (and snacks too). We are a full-service caterer specializing in the unique needs of charter schools. Don’t have a kitchen on site? No worries – we can deliver delicious meals we prepare offsite. Have a kitchen and need it staffed soup to nuts? We can do that, too.

Led by Le Cordon Bleu-trained Executive Chef Brandon Neumen, our chefs prepare nutritious and appetizing meals from scratch. Whether you choose an onsite or offsite solution, your students and teachers will love what our team of chefs prepare. Our “Fresh Picked” program supports local farmers and vendors by delivering food straight from the farm to the school. Every meal includes a serving of fruit and vegetables, and we offer vegetarian and ethnic cuisine menu options, too.

Delicious food made simple? Now you’re cooking!

Senior Meals

As the "Plus" in School Nutrition Plus describes, we offer more than school meals! We provide healthy, from scratch senior meals to city and county senior food programs. Our food is culturally diverse and reflects the communities we serve. To learn more, call or email us today.

“Our facilities don’t have a kitchen, but with SNP, we’re still able to provide our students with great food. Plus we love their scratch cooking options and Farm to School program.”

Consulting

Let’s face it: The National School Meal program isn’t easy. Remaining compliant is a challenging exercise in and of itself, without factoring in the new guidelines and legislation that comes out every year.

That’s why so many schools put their trust in SNP. With managers who have more than 35 combined years of experience in school meal programs, we help you navigate the labyrinth of the NSLP. SNP serves as your guide, steering you through the pitfalls (like audits) ensuring you get through safely. In 2018, we started consulting globally working with a variety of ethnic cuisines, so help is never too far away!

Our consulting services include:

  • Starting up a school meal program for schools with their own kitchen
  • Kitchen design
  • USDA audit assistance
  • Operational analysis of your foodservice program
  • Menu planning for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act
  • Procurement of computerized point-of-sale systems
  • Staff training
  • Food safety inspections
  • Customized solutions related to your food program

You have questions, we have answers. Let’s talk

Our Food

Healthy? Check. NSLP compliant? That too. Delicious? You bet! At SNP, we turn the concept of cafeteria food on its head, with scratch cooking, farm-to-table ingredients, and original recipes that will make your students say, “Yum!” Check out a sample menu

Our Story

There are all sorts of reasons people start a business.  For SNP founder Emily Burson, it was all about service.

As a Food Service Director for one of the most prominent food service companies in the world, Emily loved her work.  But she discovered that the large size of the organization meant she couldn’t deliver the type of one-on-one service she believed her clients deserved.

What if she could provide a boutique level of attention to clients, combined with the kind of farm-to-table cooking she was passionate about?  She took the leap and School Nutrition Plus was born.

Today, with business partner and executive chef Brandon Neumen on board, SNP makes and serves more than a million meals a year and delivers the kind of one-on-one service that Emily and Brandon believe every account deserves.  It’s the “Plus” that makes SNP much more than just school nutrition.

Challenging Times (and how we’re handling them)
September 15, 2021

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that supply chains have been disrupted by the ongoing pandemic. This issue is affecting school nutrition in a profound way. Menus, which previously were planned month(s) in advance are being planned a week out and still substitutions are commonplace. Manufacturers are paring down their items because of labor shortages and increases in manufacturing costs. The cost of some raw ingredients has nearly tripled. Given the sheer scope of the [...]

Meals for Senior Citizens
February 18, 2021

When schools across California closed their physical doors and pivoted to distance learning last March, like many food service operations, SNP was forced to keep up with the rapid onslaught of changing information and circumstances while keeping our students fed. An integral part of that meant determining the safest and most efficient way to continue to prepare as well as distribute meals to our school communities. We are extremely proud of this work and all that we continue to do.  As [...]
