Delivery time is extremely IMPORTANT – if delivery is 20 minutes late or more, vendor will not charge us, and Dishes2u will in turn issue a mass credit to all who ordered for that day. Being late causes a huge disruption to our schools, as students sometimes only have 15-20 minutes to eat.

Vendor to time & temp ONE HOT & ONE COLD ITEM before leaving their restaurant and give this to the lunchroom distributor upon arrival

It’s easy, just provide 60 days’ notice. Vendors cannot be removed once menus have gone live.  However, before giving us notice, please do call us, maybe there is something we can do at our end to ease your concerns.  We are hopeful this will be a WIN-WIN for the schools, restaurant partners, parents, students, staff & Dishes2u!
