Today we had Mr Andy from Epicure who runs the school cafeteria. Andy came over to the Grade 4's to talk about how the company he works for markets the cafeteria in ISPP. and in other schools in Asia.

 Epicure is a catering company foundered 13years ago in Thailand where there was a need for lunch meals to be improved in schools.

Andy talked to the children about their responsibility to provide healthy lunches to the children and staff and how hard they work in providing this by having a varying balanced menu.
He spoke how they research safe and reliable local produce farmers and retailers to provide food to the cafeteria. They first must met a high international safety standard.

Andy talked about the overheads they have; Expenses - food, wages, maintenance on equipment, rental cost and how it is important to keep within budget.
