About Green Edge Systems
Green Edge Systems has been at the forefront of transforming school food service with innovative menu board solutions since 2012. As the first provider of digital menu boards, we quickly became a leader in the industry, aligning with USDA's introduction of MyPlate to promote healthier eating habits. Our early adoption of digital boards set new standards for how schools communicate meal options to students, making menus more engaging, informative, and accessible.
Having the entire MyPlate-style menu visible on a single screen is crucial for guiding students toward balanced meal choices. LED flashing or dry-erase menu boards provide this full view, allowing students to see all food options categorized by food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy) and receive step-by-step instructions on how to build a balanced plate. Unlike digital menu boards, which often rotate information or display it in segments, LED or dry-erase boards ensure that students have constant, complete visibility of options and instructions, fostering better understanding and adherence to the MyPlate model for healthier eating.
MyPlate was first introduced by the USDA on June 2, 2011 to replace the older food pyramid. Since then, MyPlate has become the sole way of promoting healthier eating in schools, helping students develop habits that support healthier eating for their lifetimes. To truly promote the MyPlate concept, it’s essential to use the MyPlate logo in the presentation of menu options. Our menu boards are designed specifically with this in mind, making them a practical tool to guide students toward healthier choices.
Green Edge Systems is proud to offer the only digital solution that incorporates the MyPlate logo concept directly into menu presentations through its innovative LED Flashing Boards. This provides an engaging, visually appealing method to help students understand and apply MyPlate guidelines in real-time as they make their meal choices.
Freen Edge Systems has introduced lines of LED Flashing and dry erase menu boards that not only display meal options but also include slogans designed to promote the MyPlate concept. These slogans help reinforce healthier eating habits and include:

- 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.

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.
