Revolution Foods: Sounds good, but costs too much
A new enterprise called Revolution Foods is providing lunches to some schools around the Bay Area and getting good reviews (their lunches are partly organic). SFUSD parents keep asking about it. Revolution Foods has had discussions with SFUSD Student Nutrition (SNS).
Bottom line: Revolution Foods is too expensive.
SFUSD spends $1.36 per meal on lunch — and at that, SNS struggles and runs a deficit. (The heavy-duty line item that stresses the budget is labor.)
Revolution Foods has been very clear that it can't provide lunch for less than $3 per meal.
SFUSD serves 21,700 meals a day (Revolution Foods currently serves 7,000, by the way). So Revolution would cost $35,588.00 per day above what SNS currently spends. Would be wonderful; isn't financially feasible.
