A great school meals service thrives on excellent customer care and we help Local Authority caterers, Academies and Individual schools achieve the very highest standards of service delivery. In partnership with our clients, we have a proven track record of increasing meal uptake, productivity and efficiencies - whilst reducing food wastage across primary and secondary schools.
SchoolGrid has a wide range of resources available to support school caterers, including menu and recipe management, kitchen management, classroom and home pre-ordering, school office support, parent engagement and much more. Schools love the simplicity and efficiency of the system, as do our Chef/Catering Manager users, Pupils and Parents.
We are proud of our Allergy Management System, which has been developed to protect the safety of children having a school lunch and provides parents and schools with the reassurance that this rigorous process delivers.
Our Training and Support package is perhaps one of our greatest features. We do ‘boots on the ground’ and fully manage our roll-outs. We visit schools twice before ‘Go Live’ day and spend a whole day on site when the system is launched to help the catering team and the school. We have a professional Support Team who deal with all parent, school and caterer enquiries ongoing.
This has resulted in a very loyal (and increasing) client portfolio, who are always happy to show others the features and benefits of the system. We can arrange a demonstration or a visit to a local SchoolGrid school so you can see the system in action!

Pros: It's great to be part of a company making a real impact in education. The team is collaborative, and management is usually supportive. The work itself as a Software Developer is engaging, and I appreciate the flexibility we have, especially with the remote work options. The culture promotes learning and continuous improvement.
Cons: The compensation package, while decent, doesn't quite match some of the top tech firms in the area or the broader SaaS industry. Benefits are standard but could be enhanced. There are occasional periods of intense workload, especially around product launches, which can strain work-life balance.
Advice to Management: Consider reviewing the compensation structure to ensure it remains competitive for talent in the Edinburgh tech scene and the SaaS market.

Pros: I appreciate the mission-driven aspect of working in the education technology space. The team here is generally very collaborative and supportive, making it easy to get help when needed. We often celebrate small wins, which boosts morale. The flexibility to work remotely is a significant plus, allowing for better personal scheduling and reducing commute stress. The product itself is innovative.
Cons: While flexibility is great, communication can sometimes be a challenge, with information not always filtering down effectively from senior management. Project timelines can occasionally feel rushed, and there's room for improvement in resource allocation to ensure smoother delivery. Some processes could be more streamlined to boost efficiency in our day-to-day operations as an edtech provider.
Advice to Management: Continue fostering open communication channels and consider clearer goal setting for projects to improve team alignment and reduce pressure on delivery timelines.
