For foodservice management companies, streamlining operations can have a significant and positive impact on business.
Just ask Opaa! Food Management.
Opaa! specializes in serving the nutritional needs of K-12 school districts. They work with 200 districts to deliver tailored child nutrition programs that meet each of the local community’s needs.
After implementing Nutrislice digital menus in 2017, they saw positive results across the organization, including:
-
Time and money savings
Before Nutrislice, Opaa! worked with an external vendor to print and send menus to all of their districts. This required significant time and expense due to the volume of copies that had to be printed and mailed. Updates were nearly impossible because of the manual, time-consuming nature of the process. So, Opaa! decided to go digital with Nutrislice menus. The result: Opaa! decreased operational costs by 10% which they say has more than paid for their Nutrislice subscription.
-
Decreased administrative burden
Before implementing Nutrislice digital menus, it took Opaa! weeks, and even months, to create and publish menu plans. Today, the process is simple, easy, and takes only a matter of days– saving hundreds of hours per year. This time savings allows Opaa!’s registered dietitian to spend more time on what really matters –culinary development with a focus on nutritious and delicious meals.z

Greater menu accuracy
As food inventory changes, menus need to change too. Opaa!’s old manual print process made itvextremely difficult to keep menus accurate, which created a number of problems across their school districts, including upset parents . After shifting to Nutrislice digital menus, directors now make and publish changes immediately, ensuring their menus are always up to date.
-
Improved image of child nutrition programs
Thanks to the ability to ability to create and update digital menus quickly and conveniently provide details nutrition and allergen information to parents and students, Opaa! saw significant increases in client, parent, and child satisfaction. In fact, a recent survey found that 70% of Opaa!’s clients said that Nutrislice improved the image of their community’s child nutrition program.

Opaa! no longer worries about how they can improve the digital dining experience for their customers. Instead, they benefit from Nutrislice’s commitment to innovation and solving their clients’ evolving needs.
