New Online Platform for School Menus

Posted on

As of January 2022, online menus for school meals are available at SchoolCafe.com/sfusd. The new online menu platform has a customizable view, is printer-friendly and simple to translate from your internet browser.

  • Online menus are posted 1 week in advance. This process helps better align what is being served in the cafeteria with what is listed on the menu, making the menu more responsive to current supply chain challenges.

  • Look at last week’s menu, and you can predict next week’s! For consistency, yet still offering a nice variety for students, school menus follow a 2-week cycle.

  • Printed monthly menus will continue to be posted in the cafeteria and/or school office.

View the menu with or without a SchoolCafe account:

  • Go to SchoolCafe.com/sfusd.

  • Select “View menus (as a guest)” or sign in.

  • Choose a view option of a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly calendar.

  • From the dropdowns, select School and Meal Type.

  • From the weekly or monthly views, check off all the categories you would like to view (ie. Hot or Cold entree, Vegetable, Fruit)

Supply Chain Challenges Affect Menu Planning

Student Nutrition Services welcomes questions and feedback about your experience with the new menu platform; please email SchoolLunch@sfusd.edu. Thank you for your patience as we transition to this new system.

As a result of supply chain challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, Student Nutrition Services may need to alter posted menus with little to no notice. They are working hard with all vendors to secure meals as published and minimize meal substitutions to their best ability. Food and supply vendors are also experiencing operational challenges related in large part to the pandemic.

These problems are being experienced across the country by other school districts and sectors. Rest assured, all SFUSD meals will continue to follow the strict nutritional, culinary and wellness guidelines to ensure students are well nourished. 

Thank you for your support and understanding.
