School Meal Participation by the Numbers 
While each school district  or school have their own statics, here are some of the national  statistics:
Out of the 51 million public school students, about 26 million are eligible for free and reduced meals - consuming daily 22 million lunches (85% participation) , and 11.5 million Breakfasts (44% participation)

Our of the 51 million public school students, about 25 million are potential paying students  -
​consuming daily 7.7  million lunches (30% participation) , and 2.2 million Breakfasts (9% participation)

Increasing School Meal Participation - Visitors of your Cafes
Regular visitors to school  cafes present most potential students that you can increase their meal participation rates.

 Menu boards are best to present the variety of meal options.

Compare Social Media Marketing and Inside Cafes LED Flshing Menu Board Marketing:
  • Many  Student have no or limited access to Smart Phones - Consider this report http://www.growingwireless.com/get-the-facts/quick-facts#children
  • ​LED Flashing Menu Board Marketing allows direct marketing to participants in your Lunch program
  • LED Flashing Menu Board Marketing allows the involvement of  individual school food managers in  efforts to increase meal participation.

Here is a link to a USDA site with a study that has interesting data for your to consider regarding school lunch participation -

https://fns-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/SNDA-FoodServ-Pt4.pdf

Here are some of our conclusions from the data presented in the report:
  • There is nationwide NSLP participation rate drop of about 40% between Secondary and Elementary schools

  • 65% More Females the Male students drop NSLP between Secondary and Elementary

  • 30% More Males than Female students participate in NSLP Secondary Schools

  • 50% more Females than Males use A-La-Carte in Secondary Schools.

  • "Parents generally hold favorable impressions of the school lunch program. Most parent believe that school lunches are convenient, economical and nutritious"
While current food service marketing efforts are focused on social media that appeals more to secondary schools students and parents, attractive menu boards in elementary (and secondary...) cafes help building the needed 'quality of service' impression for Elementary students that will keep them attending NSLP as they are growing.

To address the difference in gender participation figures - Female students are more attracted to Cafe Decor and the details of their menu options as provided by our LED flashing menu boards.
