Description
Established in 2007, School Lunch Choice emerged in response to the increasing demand from charter and independent schools for innovative solutions to school lunch programs. At that time, Ben Burr was managing a small lunch catering service operating out of multiple restaurants he owned. It soon became clear that to expand this catering venture, a straightforward and efficient software application was essential. To address this need, he teamed up with technical co-founder Jared Rossean, who contributed a wealth of experience in POS systems, e-commerce, and shopping cart software development. Their collaboration resulted in an online ordering platform specifically designed for school lunches. This technological advancement propelled the catering business to unprecedented heights, leading to the servicing of over thirty schools and reaching tens of thousands of parents and students within just two years. The innovative software also facilitated millions of dollars in sales, marking a significant achievement in the realm of school dining solutions. This milestone exemplified how technology could transform traditional services into scalable operations.
