Defining The Standard in School Dining Services Learn how SAGE® is Defining the Standard in dining services. From customer service to local sourcing, from nutrition education to financial transparency, and from daily lunch to the annual gala, it's not just about the food. Though, SAGE's food is incredible. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/defining_the_standard_in_school_dining_services |

Education Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. We offer a series of educational programs, including nutritional guidance on building a healthy plate; nutrition education for students athletes to optimize performance; monthly events to teach students about the ingredients, science, history, and culture behind food; and information on local suppliers, sustainable actions, and students’ role in the food system. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/education |

Food Safety We believe that a safe kitchen is the hallmark of a true food service professional. We take food safety seriously so our clients have one less thing to worry about. We follow HACCP safety guidelines, use reputable vendors, conduct ongoing training, and provide tools to prevent food allergy reactions. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/food_safety |

Local Sourcing Local sourcing is good for the environment; it’s good for the community; and it just plain tastes better. We partner with over 900 local farms and suppliers, each of which complies with our rigorous safety standards, business and food handling practices, and insurance requirements. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/local_sourcing |

Management Fee SAGE works on a management-fee basis, which means that SAGE earns a fixed amount of money per year, like a salary, for administering the food service agreement. The management fee is pre-established, mutually understood, and fixed. There are no hidden markups or ambiguous charges. It isn’t SAGE’s profit, but rather, a contribution to shared corporate overhead. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/management_fee |

People A strong dining program is founded on the experience and know-how of a fantastic on-site team. We recruit for a customer service mentality and positive attitude first. We have culinary-trained Chefs who are passionate about cooking; professional Managers who are experienced in leadership and financial management; and kitchen staff who participate in daily training on food safety, and allergy and eating disorders awareness. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/people |

Scratch Cooking Each SAGE dish is made from scratch in small batches so everyone gets the same great-tasting, high-quality meal. Cooking only as much as we need throughout the day also means less waste. We’re so passionate about scratch cooking that we’ve developed a formula to quantify exactly how “from scratch” an item really is. http://www.sagedining.com/videos/scratch_cooking |
