Encouraging Culinary with EduSource

EduSource makes cafeterias for school campuses

Cafeterias are the heart of each educational campus, which is why The Edu-Source Corporation helps create positive atmospheres for students, faculty and community members. With "Creating atmospheres that inspire" as their motto, the company aims to bridge the gap between possibilities and actual implementations using federal food program funding opportunities for turnkey solutions, customized for each school.

Edu-Source understands that transition is more than just about serving good food: it's about creating an environment that encourages healthy eating and greater student participation.

"We view each student as our customers too, so we make it our mission to provide each campus with innovative products that offer social value for each student within the district," said Frank Medina, president of the corporation.

"We want to help make a difference in the lives of each student by working together within our customers' budget, providing dream floorplans that inspire them to take pride in their education, school and community. We work together to bring it all together."

The corporation offers advanced analytics to increase revenue, student experience, nutritional value and has helped multiple CP members with dozens of projects.

Medina shared, "We want to thank Choice Partners for listening to the school districts that were requesting a line item proposal to purchase furniture, art and décor."

"This has allowed Edu-Source to 'Create Atmospheres that Inspire' all over Texas."
