Foodservice Distribution for K-12 and Higher Education
Tightening budgets, providing good nutrition, commodity management, federal and state accountability, and evolving parent and student expectations are all critical issues in education today. Finding unique solutions to meet the evolving food (taste) and serving trends can be tough. Gordon Food Service has an extensive offering of nationally branded, specialty, and exclusive products, including products designed specifically for the education foodservice segment. A full menu of technology tools is available to support your foodservice operation, beginning with GFS Experience, the online resource that enables you to manage day-to-day business details anytime, anywhere. Place and view orders, manage your account, and access recipes and other resources. Inventory, monitor, and manage your commodities efficiently with our exclusive School Commodity Tracking (SCT) system. Working in tandem with GFS Experience, SCT allows you to manage all of your commodity activity. The SCT system will keep you fully informed throughout the entire school year, providing pricing integrity, real-time utilization, a detailed record of all sales transactions, and much more. It's a perennial school favorite. A Gordon Food Service exclusive, our annual "Making the Grade" book and CD is a complete resource for marketing and planning your foodservice program. Tools include monthly, weekly, and daily menu suggestions, USDA meal criteria, nutritional information, menu templates, recipes, activities for kids, and more. The Nutrition Resource Center (NRC) is a valuable resource for Gordon Food Service customers. Staffed by registered dietitians and support personnel, the NRC was the first of its kind in the foodservice industry, and continues to be the ultimate source of nutrition and food safety expertise. Sharing our knowledge gained from over a century in business, we offer training for you and your staff in food safety, product information, customer service, employee motivation, operational management, and other important subject areas. Regularly scheduled events and seminars—as well as our publications, videos, and online educational materials—feature the latest products, trends, and tools presented by industry professionals. Maintaining and growing meal participation is important for all school foodservice operations, and our exclusive Custom Concepts program can help. It provides image-building services to help you create restaurant-style dining experiences. The program includes brand names, logos, menu ideas, recipes, signage, and merchandising materials.
