The School Foodservice Industry Faces A Common Problem
K-12 buyers spend valuable time searching for product information and asking questions while:
- Prepping for audits
- Creating new bids
- Planning menus
- Researching nutritional information
You spend valuable time assembling the same documents for different schools over and over.
The communication flow is messy and inefficient.
