Case Study: Leander ISD meets demand for 4,000 meals a day with Nutrislice online ordering

Meeting Demand for 4,000 Meals Per Day During COVID-19 School Closures

Leander ISD, a school district near Austin, faced the sudden challenge of providing meals to students after COVID-19 closures, anticipating only modest demand. They partnered with their foodservice provider, Southwest Foodservice Excellence (SFE), and utilized the Nutrislice online ordering platform to gauge community need and manage distribution efficiently.

The solution from Nutrislice provided a pre-ordering system that was activated in under 20 minutes at zero cost, allowing the district to scale up from an expected 200 meals to successfully distributing 4,000 meals daily. This technology from Nutrislice gave the district advanced insight into demand, enabling effective planning and safe, contact-free meal distribution, ensuring the community was fed throughout the closures.
