Boarding Schools

School cafeteria management that makes your students smile.

Food serves as the heart of any household. For prospective parents and students living away from home, your cafeteria plays a pivotal role in defining your school's reputation and appeal.

Maintaining cleanliness and efficiency is essential, but going above and beyond to meet students' nutritional requirements and providing warm, consistent service elevates your offering – which can be incredibly challenging to manage internally.

Our team ensures that each meal is thoughtfully prepared, balancing taste with nutrition to keep students fuelled and focused throughout their day. With a menu that caters to diverse dietary needs and preferences, we strive to make every student feel valued and included. Moreover, our commitment to sustainability means we source fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, reducing our environmental footprint while supporting the communities we work in.

Regular feedback from students and staff helps us continually refine and innovate our offerings, ensuring that mealtime is always a highlight of the day.

Cater Plus school cafeteria management takes care of all the details, while serving as an asset to your educational offering. By partnering with Cater Plus, schools can focus on their primary mission of education, knowing that their students are in good hands when it comes to their daily meals.

Fun, healthy, delicious!
Food can bring comfort to students who miss home and family. We offer familiar favourites that even fussy eaters will love. Cater Plus menus feature fresh, seasonal ingredients to minimise added fat, salt, and sugar. By collaborating with dietitian's and adhering to the Ministry of Health Healthy Eating Guidelines, we guarantee that our meals are delicious, well-balanced, and meet the nutritional needs of adolescents.

Special Dietary Needs
With New Zealanders becoming increasingly diverse and a wider range of dietary choices on offer, it's important to cater to various needs. We are sensitive to lifestyle, cultural, and medical preferences and can provide tasty meal options that cater to:
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
- Halal
- Made without Nuts
- Made without Gluten
- Made without Dairy

Events and Meetings
Food plays a crucial role in connecting people, nurturing relationships, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. We offer catering services for all your meetings and events.
Additionally, we love getting involved in school fundraising initiatives! Whether you require refreshments for a student art show or assistance with setting up and supplying a kitchen for your very own Master Chef competition, we are eager to lend a hand!

Developing Healthy Food Habits
Encouraging students to make informed food choices is crucial, and involving them directly is a great way to achieve this goal.
While Cater Plus menus promote healthy eating consistently, we also offer demonstrations and interactive workshops to educate children on cooking basics and nutrition.

Camps and Holiday Programmes
Cater Plus offers year-round food service management, including weekends and after hours. When it comes to special events like camps and holiday programs, we collaborate with volunteers and provide assistance to ensure they adhere to food and occupational safety regulations.
