BOOST REIMBURSABLE MEALS

Printable Version

One reimbursable meal is identified as the featured combo meal and is labeled with a creative name.

"Feature it as one complete reimbursable meal and add special branding to make it more visible and attractive to students."

Suggested Materials/Resources:

Meal-of-the-Day Sign
Frame or Board
Dry erase markers
Creative and Descriptive names
- Magnet
- Full list

The Combo Meal-of-the-Day is displayed on a sample tray or photograph.

"Complete meals are more appealing than individual item...plating clears up confusion about what I included in the meal and is easier for developing languages users than worded menus."

Suggested Materials:

Display plate
Clear Plate Cover
Reimbursable meal components
Picture Frame

Examples

Place a sign advertising all components of the combo meal next to the selected entree on the service line.
Give the meal a special name such as the Brain Boosting meal, The Athlete's Meal, The Focus Feast or one of your own.
Plate the reimbursable meal of the day and prop it so it is easily visible to students in the line (be aware of the line-of-sight for younger students)
Direct Lunchroom staff to point it out to students for the first week or two, so students get accustomed to looking for it.
