New York and New Jersey schools continue to face challenges as we reopen…again. From remote learning, to safety procedures, and drastic changes and demands of food service operations for staff and students.
School foodservice operators are looking for versatility in their products. They want products that they can use now for to assist with foodservice during the pandemic but be able to repurpose and utilize in the future to make their operations easier.
Challenge #1: In-Classroom Meal Service
One of the biggest concerns faculty face is keeping food fresh and at temperature from kitchen to classroom. While the demand for a solution certainly increased during the pandemic, the issue is still critical.
Solution: Insulated Transport
Insulated transport allows for seamless kitchen to classroom transition. Our favorite, the Pro Cart Ultra, is able to hold BOTH hot and cold food at the desired temperature, at the same time.
- Insulates to maintain temperatures for 4+ hours
- Exterior is rust-proof and dent-resistant for lasting service
- 8 sets of adjustable stainless steel rails hold food pans, sheet pans, trays, and large pizza boxes

Solution: Ultimate Sheet Pan Rack
While the Ultimate Sheet Pan Rack was designed to hold sheet pans, it is up to the operator to decide what those sheet pans will hold. This is a great alternative to the larger insulated transports. You can pack and transport hot or cold meals to classrooms.
