SchoolGrid’s deep rooted knowledge of the hardships and joys of school catering as well as their consistent attention to customer service has gained them a loyal following with caterers of all sizes.

SchoolGrid is celebrating 15 years in business during which they have offered industry-changing innovation that has made them the first choice for many local authorities.

Dugald Curtis, founder of SchoolGrid, said: “When I started out, I would often be so immersed in the product that I’d forget I was running a business. The invention of home and classroom pre-ordering – and what I was realising we could do in terms of meal uptake and food waste reduction – was starting to change the way school meals were being delivered and that was terribly exciting to me.

“Nowadays we still have that excitement when we think of something new or gain a new customer, but we also have a successful business and an amazing team supporting the product. [Winning the LACA Outstanding Supplier of the Year Award] recognised our ability to put school food and the needs of caterers, schools, parents and pupils at the heart of everything we do. To us, there is no higher accolade, and we will continue to put our customers first.”

As part of its 15 year Anniversary, SchoolGrid are offering Local Authority caterers MenuGrid – a free recipe and menu

planning suite, with nutrition, supplier link-up and cost analysis.

Four incredible products to cut cost, improve efficiency and supercharge your kitchens

Our parent systems help caterers to increase uptake and deliver vital information to parents, rather than them having to contact the caterer. We provide annual parent handout packs and assist your parents directly over the phone if they need help.

Our menu and recipe suite is a drop-in replacement for systems such as Saffron and Nutmeg, and pulls in info from your food suppliers. Like all of our system, everything is web-based and simple. Recipes you enter can be accessed by kitchen users using KitchenGrid.

Our award winning kitchen management systems are a doddle to set up and use, and our experienced training staff will train your cooks to ensure trouble free implementation. Reduce your food spend and streamline the management of your kitchens.

For secondary schools and colleges, our SelfXpress ordering, payment and checkout system increases throughput and student engagement whilst decreasing staff cost. Our optional custom deli ordering system increases choice and safety.
