At this time of year, school students are usually celebrating school being out for summer. For Aramark Student Nutrition, however, the planning, preparation, and excitement continues throughout the year.
In addition to the student-focused and student-approved school-year menus, the Aramark Student Nutrition team has been working with its talented chefs, registered dietitians, and marketing experts to come up with a series of flavor-packed limited time offer (LTO) recipes and promotions created to entice the most discerning, taste-forward young palates.
“We have an amazing lineup of LTOs planned for students returning to classes in the fall—and even into the spring,” said John Kandemir, Vice President of Marketing, Aramark Student Nutrition. “We draw from our chefs and dietitians for inspiration, flavors, and nutritional guidelines—and then test the recipes with students to make sure we’re hitting the mark.”
This coming school year, students at Aramark Student Nutrition accounts across the country will have not only the solid lineup of menu favorites they look forward to each school year but also a series of LTOs and other specials that will keep them satisfied and energized for lunchtime.
