BUSINESS MODEL
Wholesome Tummies is the first and only kids’ food franchise in the U.S. Our business concept provides the ideal solution for schools ready to make student health a priority: fresh, from scratch, kid-favorite foods prepared daily in local kitchens and distributed directly to schools.KIDS LOVE OUR FOOD. Most school food programs today are highly processed, canned, and frozen. They seriously lack freshness, nutrition, and taste. That’s where we come in. Our menu is fresh, seasonally inspired and delicious, featuring a variety of hot and cold entrees, house-made dressings, soups, and healthy treats. Our Chefs take traditional kid favorites and re-create them using the freshest, healthiest ingredients possible. Even the pickiest eaters like Wholesome Tummies!
SCHOOLS LOVE OUR PROGRAM. We give our partner schools a food program they can be proud of. Our schools benefit from a boost in student enrollment and parent satisfaction that comes with making student health a priority. They also enjoy that we relieve them of the administrative burdens that come with managing a school food program. Our healthy school solution lets them focus on what they do best – building their curriculum and running their school.
PARENTS LOVE THE CONVENIENCE. It is our parent customers who most appreciate our lunch, catering, and vending solutions. Busy juggling home, work, and extracurricular activities, parents are happy to take a needed break from packing meals each school day in favor of fresh, nutritious, and exciting foods served right at school. Our online ordering and payment system makes it easy for parents to order and our customer service makes them happy to stay!

WHY CHOOSE WHOLESOME TUMMIES?
Few business opportunities offer the intrinsic satisfaction that comes with doing something you feel good about. With Wholesome Tummies, you can build a business AND make a difference. We are not just another sub, burger, or pizza franchise. We offer our owners something incredibly unique – the ability to fight childhood obesity in their own backyards and restore health to future generations. We consider it a privilege to feed the children in our communities, and if you are motivated by similar passions Wholesome Tummies may be a fit for you!
Additionally, if you seek the freedom of having a school schedule you may also enjoy this lifestyle. Our business follows the school calendar and is therefore shut down on holidays, teacher workdays, and school breaks (think Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break off!). With this business, you have the choice of working summer camps or taking the summer off. On the days you are in full production, the hours are reasonable with most kitchen teams working 7 – 3pm, making work-life balance achievable. Unlike most food businesses, with Wholesome Tummies your evenings and weekends belong to you. Not a lot of businesses give you that kind of flexibility. Just think…you may never miss another after-school activity!TESTIMONIALS
