Breakfast For Everyone — First Meal Matters

Topics:

Our biggest success is how the addition of Smoothies to the Breakfast menu increased the participation in our Breakfast program from 27 to 51 students buying daily., nearly doubling our Breakfast Participation!

We started off selling an average of 40 Smoothies per day the first month they were introduced. Now 7 months later, we are selling an average of four smoother per day. We do have more students buying a full breakfast but we continue of offer Smoothies daily and experiment with different fruit combinations to entice students to buy more
