Are you interested in sustainability in your menu program? Take time to innovate your approach with turnkey solutions and supports like SFSPac or Atrium to improve all areas of your meal operation. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and prioritizing your programs cleaning SOPs as well as how you display and showcase your menu makes a huge difference! It’s all about the kids! When was the last time you surveyed your students to glean important feedback on what they want to see on your school’s menu? Here are some ways to get started: • Survey Monkey - Utilize Survey Monkey resources as examples for engaging questions for students in the classroom. Steal these ideas by making your “cafeteria and extension of the classroom” style questions. • Google Form - If you are familiar with the phrase “just google it” you’re like many people who use this in their everyday lives and classrooms. Here’s a short “how to create” a quick Google form for student feedback. • Kahoot! - Who doesn’t love a quick game that’s entertaining and can give you instant feedback? If your school permits personal devices try this interactive program . There’s an app for that - and it can be a quick and easy way to engage students in the cafeteria space. • Partner With Local Resources - Our friends at Feed Our Future support schools in offering harvest-of-the-month menu items. This past year they have conducted Totally Tasty Events where they solicit feedback with interactive voting in the cafeterias of schools in Ohio.
It’s that time of year where we get so pumped for back-to-school training here at Pisanick Partners. This year our Innovation Academy ‘24 will give attendees resources to Immerse, Innovate, and Inspire their programs with a dynamic day of learning for the entire team. We can’t wait for this fun filled day in August. Check out highlights from Innovation Academy 2023 ! Learning doesn’t have to be a drag - and we have tailored our programs with the adult learners we serve in mind! What’s are strategy - well here’s a couple of sneak peeks into our creative planning process: • Location, location, location! - Pick a space that is geared towards your agenda’s goals. Our Innovation Academy takes place at this local gem that gets nutrition professionals into a state of the art training facility that inspires them to really engage as a “professional” in a setting that is comfortable and innovative! • What’s in it for Me? - We try to make sure we set up a variety of classes and learning tracks to allow all levels of staff and tenure to have an invigorating day of learning! Just a beginner - no worries we have a great Offer vs Serve Jeopardy game that makes for a fun filled learning experience. Pro Tip: You can build your own economical training game with this tool that can make staff trainings more engaging. Our diverse training topics cover the basics all the way to important administrative lessons on finance. The days agenda allows attendees to take a recommended learning track or forage their own path for a truly innovative learning experience. • Hands on learning! - We don’t expect our teams to sit and stare at presentation after presentation - we actually get them COOKING in this state of art space .
