“The transition to using apetito for our school lunches has been remarkably smooth, thanks to the excellent support of their staff.”
- Executive Headteacher at Carleton Rode CEVA Primary School
“Moving to apetito has given us full menu control and reduced food waste. The children love the food, and many have switched from packed lunches. apetito’s tastings for pupils, parents and staff, plus their ongoing support made the transition seamless. I could not recommend apetito highly enough, they have been brilliant.”
- Headteacher at St Mark's CofE Primary School
