The extraordinary community of the FSC brand family benefits owners, managers and administrators of institutions and companies. K-12 school districts consider Cafe Servies a valued district partner.
These six benefits represent the top reasons to partner with Café Services, Glendale Dining Services, and Fresh Picks Café:
Innovative Cuisine
Our chefs and chef managers from every FSC brand division of our foodservice company pride themselves on preparing innovative meal solutions that accommodate the dietary and nutritional needs of each segment of their customer-audiences. Their on-site preparation of creatively-crafted, attractively-presented cuisine enhances customer participation, and generates revenue that underscores the value of FSC partnership.

Whether your organization supports business teams and customers, patients and caregivers, or students and teachers, you can be assured that our brands will deliver consistent quality and achieve your goals.
Local Food Management Support and Accountability
Each industry-specific FSC brand of our food service operation is managed by local teams of experienced directors, registered dieticians, chefs, and supervisors who are empowered to make local decisions, and accountable directly to FSC’s actively-involved regional executives. This local support, accountability, and depth of experience differentiates FSC brands from large national brands that often have layers of separation from leaders with decision-making ability, leading to inflexibility and decreased customer satisfaction.
Superior Value Among Food Service Operators
Our proven strategies for efficient cafeteria and restaurant operations, coupled with our deep relationships with local and national distributors, enable each FSC brand to deliver outstanding value to customers. Fresh ingredients, quality products, and attentive service combined with convenience and affordability provides our clients with peace of mind that they are receiving superior value for their wise investment.

All FSC divisions take pride in supporting the people and economies of the local communities we serve. Through employing local people and sourcing local food whenever possible, we strive to be a responsible business partner, charitable partner, and good neighbor. We also provide financial and volunteer support to many leading local and national organizations who provide community meals that benefit the communities where our clients are located.
Food Safety Compliance with Best Food Service Practices
Similar to the commercial restaurant market, employees in all FSC divisions receive rigorous training that thoroughly covers quality control, service excellence, and compliance with safe food handling and sanitation requirements. Our management team is ServSafe certified, and all non-salaried team members are offered food service certification.
Increasing employee productivity starts with corporate dining solutions !
How Corporate Dining Solutions Add Value Beyond Employee Health
Our food service management personnel play a vital role in providing healthy food options that satisfy more than hunger for the business segments we serve. As expert corporate cafeteria vendors, our team of cafeteria service providers and catering service experts outperform other cafeteria companies.
The largest food service vendors cannot match our corporate cafeteria management team’s heart of food. With each new food service contract on our growing client list, we share our passion for exceptional food, outstanding menu options and commitment to supporting each client’s revenue growth. Our services for clients are in step with industry trends, and our vast operator resources enable us to continually bring new concepts to menus, including farm to table initiatives.
Corporate Food Service Management Companies Enhance Workplace Productivity
Workplace productivity is greatly enhanced when employees can take advantage of on-site corporate cafeteria services as part of their employee benefits package. Our systematic approach includes full-service cafeteria support, café and office refreshment services, corporate catering, vending services, micro markets, convenience markets, event management, and more. Various employee audiences throughout an office building or across a campus of offices can benefit from the quality and convenience of freshly prepared and made-to-order meals that are customized to support healthy choices and appeal to their tastes and preferences. Today’s discerning diners also seek options from our manual foodservice business that support their well-being and lifestyle choices. The Café Services Fit Picks™ program provides diners with healthfully balanced and appealing portions, sound education and exciting promotions.
Many factors influence employees’ satisfaction with – and regular use of – their workplace cafeterias. Beyond obvious factors such as food quality, variety and freshness, employees also consider practical and aesthetic details such as traffic flow, cuisine layout, and interior design when deciding whether to avail themselves of the benefits that a café can offer. To further support an elevated dining experience, Café Services also offers clients the benefit of concept to completion cafeteria design services.
The Café Services Approach to Feeding Business Campuses
Through our deep experience and consistent positive results with serving employees in business dining venues at office buildings and across business campuses, we’ve gleaned great insights into the process of delivering award-winning corporate campus dining experiences. Our systematic approach combines the power of national purchase pricing at local levels, technologies such as digital menus that maximize efficiency, and corporate accountability processes. This current food service management enables us to offer the latest product innovations and freshest products in food sourcing, preparation, presentation and service.

How Contract Dining Services Enhance K-12 Schools
Fresh Picks Cafe is a dedicated community of associates with a common goal of enhancing school food service management for our district partner education accounts who support American K-12 School Children.
Contract Dining Services Support Schools and School Districts
Fresh Picks Café helps districts, communities and a variety of summer youth programs to meet their education unit dining service goals with a robust child nutrition program. Schools administrators are freed to fulfill their primary mission of education, which does not include running the largest restaurant in town. Our experienced on-site teams serve up increased revenues for school districts, while controlling costs and ensuring consistent compliance with countless mandates regarding nutrition, administration, and food safety.
How Fresh Picks Café Helps Generate Consistent Annual Revenue
Generating consistent annual revenue through increased dining participation across school districts depends on developing creative and cost-effective child nutrition programs that attract students’ interest with fun and new ways to appreciate food and nutrition. Fresh Pics Café child nutrition services enhance the cafeteria experience by engaging students to learn about nutrition through a simple-to-use app that enables them to review school lunch menus at their convenience. In addition to providing appealing lunch options through exciting food stations, beverage stations, healthy snack stations, and comfort food programs, FPC offers before and after school meals that provide kids with the child nutrition services they need to fuel their minds and bodies at critical points throughout the day. This increases daily meal counts, ensures food waste reduction, minimizes food loss, and helps schools avoid revenue declines due to declines in meal participation. We adapt our menus and presentation to serve to the demographics, personality and goals of each community, and to appeal to the unique needs and preferences of students at the elementary, middle school and high school levels.
Guidance for Contracting with Food Service Management
Guidance is available for school food authorities (SFAs) regarding successful contracting with food service management companies (FSMC). The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service publishes guidance for school food authority personnel and state agency personnel who also seek to enhance or expand current child nutrition programs.
