Description

Established in 2007, School Lunch Choice emerged in response to the increasing demand from charter and independent schools for innovative solutions to school lunch programs. At that time, Ben Burr was managing a small lunch catering service operating out of multiple restaurants he owned. It soon became clear that to expand this catering venture, a straightforward and efficient software application was essential. To address this need, he teamed up with technical co-founder Jared Rossean, who contributed a wealth of experience in POS systems, e-commerce, and shopping cart software development. Their collaboration resulted in an online ordering platform specifically designed for school lunches. This technological advancement propelled the catering business to unprecedented heights, leading to the servicing of over thirty schools and reaching tens of thousands of parents and students within just two years. The innovative software also facilitated millions of dollars in sales, marking a significant achievement in the realm of school dining solutions. This milestone exemplified how technology could transform traditional services into scalable operations.

Description

Trinity POS serves as a comprehensive school nutrition software solution designed for K-12 districts, charter organizations, and operators involved in child nutrition programs such as NSLP, School Breakfast, SFSP, CACFP, and CEP. The point of sale system functions as a cashier application accessible on tablets, smartphones, or web browsers, equipped with features for serving lines, offline functionality for areas with unreliable Wi-Fi, protection against duplicate servings, and privacy for eligibility, ensuring cashiers do not have knowledge of whether students qualify for free, reduced, or paid meals (as specified in 7 CFR 245.8). For determining eligibility, Trinity POS offers both online and paper applications for free/reduced meals in multiple languages including English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, along with income verification, Direct Certification imports, notification letters, and sampling for verification purposes. The parent portal allows families to conveniently add funds online, establish automatic top-ups and spending thresholds, and check account balances and menus, with all deposits directly settling into each school's designated bank account. In terms of claims, the software provides reimbursement claim worksheets that are generated based on recorded meal servings, featuring editing checks, export options, and a history of submissions; however, it is important to note that Trinity does not submit these claims to the state on behalf of the user. This streamlined approach enhances the efficiency of school meal programs while ensuring compliance and user-friendly access for families.
