FAQ

What kind of school lunch program do you offer to students?

Marbled LA provides a full range of meal options, including hot lunches, individually boxed meals, morning or afternoon snacks, and special event catering. Menus are carefully developed to meet the needs of each age group within the school community. We ensure appropriate portioning, balanced nutrition, dietary needs, and student (and teachers) appeal. Whether your school prefers traditional plated service or convenient, classroom-friendly formats, we offer a solution that fits. We believe in a food service that parents can feel confident in feeding their children.

How do you handle food allergies and dietary preferences?

Our team takes dietary needs seriously. We offer daily alternatives that are nut-free, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy-free—clearly labeled and prepared with strict handling protocols to minimize cross-contact. We also work closely with administrators and parents to review allergy lists and ensure that every student feels seen, safe, and included in the dining experience.

Can we offer both traditional lunch and grab-and-go service?

Yes. We tailor our service models to complement your school’s layout, staffing, and lunch schedule. Some campuses prefer dining room service with full hot meals, while others opt for boxed lunches that students enjoy in classrooms or outdoor areas. Many schools use a combination of formats, and we’re happy to build a program that balances structure with flexibility.

What grade levels do you serve?

We serve students from early childhood through upper school. Our menus are designed with developmental stages in mind. We offer familiar, age-appropriate flavors for younger students and more sophisticated options for older students. Every meal is also thoughtfully proportioned while maintaining consistent nutritional value and visual appeal. The Marbled LA team is here to make your school lunches a smooth, satisfying part of the day.

How much advance notice is needed to begin service?

We typically recommend initiating planning 2–4 weeks ahead of your intended start date. This allows us to finalize menus, coordinate delivery logistics, and align with your school calendar. That said, we understand school timelines can shift—if you’re working within a shorter window, reach out. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your needs efficiently.
