FAQs

Does my school or office need a licensed commercial kitchen to use The Healthy Lunch Box’s services?

As licensed caterers, we generally cook in our own kitchen and bring it to you fresh and ready-to-eat. We serve our hot food from portable ‘tabletop’ electric steamers. To serve our meals, we only need a table, an electrical plug, and a small space to store extra supplies.

If you have a licensed kitchen, that is great — we are able to provide full-service, on-site cooking as well.

What are the cost of Healthy Lunch Box meals?

Healthy Lunch Box meals are affordably priced between $3.50 to $6.00 per meal. Specific pricing depends on menu, delivery, enrollment, ages/portion sizes and particular school lunch requirements.

I want The Healthy Lunch Box at my child’s school! What do I do?

Many times parents refer us to their child’s school. We can meet with the administrator, provide samples, prepare a proposal, and provide references. To get the ball rolling, please call us at 281-444-8444 and ask for Theresa Barajas.

If my child is absent on a day I paid for lunch, do I get credit for this meal?

We start cooking lunch early each morning, and once we’ve prepared your child’s meal it is too late to receive a credit. Therefore, to cancel a lunch and receive credit, please call us by 7:00 a.m. and ask to speak to Tobie. If our voicemail system answers, please just leave a message on our machine that includes school name, grade, and child’s name. We will promptly place a credit on your account.

My child is on a special diet, can The Healthy Lunch Box accommodate this?

We are not able to provide foods that are not on our menu at this time. We apologize for this; however, please understand there are many, many special diets being followed in our world today due to allergies, health concerns, religious observations, and behavioral needs. If your child requires menu modifications, please prepare your child a special lunch from home.
