Our School Food Service Menu BoardsGreen Edge Systems offers both LED flashing and dry erase boards, designed with flexibility, customization, and cost-effectiveness in mind:
- Single or Double-Sided: Perfect for various placements, whether mounted on walls or placed inside stands, our boards enhance visibility and engagement. This allows schools to strategically place boards in high-traffic areas to maximize student interaction, providing clear and concise meal information throughout the day.
- Promoting Healthier Choices: Many designs incorporate the MyPlate USA concept, encouraging healthier eating with attractive visual cues helping increase student meal participation. By integrating educational elements directly into the design, students are gently reminded to make healthier choices, contributing to a positive food culture within the school environment.
- Versatile Installation Options: From wall mounting to portable stands with rechargeable battery options, our boards fit seamlessly into any school environment. The boards inside stands can be single or double-sided, allowing schools to display different meal information on each side or maximize engagement from both directions. Schools can also opt for rechargeable battery-powered stands, enabling flexible placement without the need for constant power sources, making them ideal for both permanent fixtures and temporary or outdoor events.
- Range of Formats: We offer single meal boards, combination Lunch/Breakfast boards, and other focus boards such as Breakfast, Lunch, daily, and weekly boards. These focus boards allow schools to dynamically display important meal information, such as daily specials or weekly meal plans, providing flexibility for various school cafeteria needs. Additionally, options for supper, specials, and A-La-Carte boards offer specific, targeted messaging based on the meal or event being served, ensuring students have clear access to meal options at all times.
- MyPlate and Pick 3 Concept: The boards prominently display the MyPlate guidelines alongside the Pick 3 concept, which encourages students to choose at least 1/2 cup of fruits and vegetables and two other food groups. This educational focus helps students visualize and understand how to create balanced meals that are both nutritious and aligned with federal dietary guidelines.
- Designed for School Food Services: Optimized for the dynamic environment of school cafeterias, these menu boards clearly outline daily menus and nutritional information. The integration of the Pick 3 concept directly supports schools' efforts to ensure that meal selections meet nutritional standards, encouraging students to pick diverse and balanced options.
- Customizable Designs: With hundreds of eye-catching options available, schools can choose or customize designs that best suit their needs. Whether a school wants to promote a special event, emphasize nutrition education, or simply enhance the cafeteria’s aesthetic, our customizable options ensure that every board is uniquely tailored to fit the school’s identity and goals.
- Focused on Menus: Our products are dedicated solely to displaying menus, free from the distractions and costs associated with more complex digital signage systems. This ensures that students remain focused on their meal options and nutritional information, without being overwhelmed by unnecessary content. The simplicity of our system enhances the user experience while keeping operational costs low for schools.
- No Ongoing Fees or IT Engagement Required: These combination boards maintain the benefit of not requiring ongoing fees or specialized IT engagement for operation, making them a straightforward solution for schools looking to implement effective digital menu displays. This eliminates the need for expensive maintenance contracts or technical support, reducing long-term costs and complexity for schools.
- Accept School Purchase Orders: By accepting school purchase orders, Green Edge Systems ensures that these educational tools are easily accessible to schools, facilitating a straightforward procurement process that aligns with typical school budgeting and administrative procedures.
- Broad Impact: Trusted by thousands of schools, our boards provide menu information to over a million students nationwide. Our widespread adoption reflects the trust that schools place in our products to effectively communicate meal options and promote healthier eating behaviors. As part of our commitment to improving school food service, we continually seek feedback from our clients, ensuring that our boards evolve with the changing needs of schools and students.
