Getting it to go: 2010 Portability Study
Grab-and-go is an increasingly popular foodservice option in many foodservice sectors as customers seek more convenience to ease their busy lifestyles. This month, along with our 2010 Portability Study, we present the stories of six operators who for different reasons are seeing growth in their take-away business.
Spreading the word
It’s not often that school foodservice programs get positive coverage on television. Even less frequently does such coverage include a food manufacturer. But on a program called "The Balancing Act," which appears on Lifetime Television, Hillsborough County Schools in Florida and The Schwan Food Co. have been given the opportunity to air their views about school nutrition.
When it comes to food, it seems, everyone’s a critic, and media types are no exception. Earlier this week, The Washington Post ran a story entitled, “Well, fed: We try the food at U.S. Government cafeterias.” Reporters were dispatched to foodservice facilities at seven federal government offices and asked to rate the quality of food and service.
