Notable Quotes (2)
This is this is the first I'm hearing about this and this looks amazing.
It is not. It is actually the the summer food service program is actually a high margin uh piece of business for school districts um in in that manner. So we keep getting less from the federal government. And it's a mandated requirement that you have uh seating available for families, right? So if you don't, you could get dinged and they could stop your program. So over the years, we've sort of it's got it was looser during COVID. They were a little more lax. We were in an audit year this year. So it's really critical that we can show that we are making those efforts to feed the children at that location.
