The exact intake your school meal program leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for School Meal Program — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified school meal program lead should tell you
Qualification intake for schools, districts, or early-childhood facilities that need to start, improve, or replace a student meal program, capturing organization type, enrollment scale, kitchen readiness, and dietary requirements before a tasting is scheduled.

The questions your team needs answered
Every school meal program intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of organization are you representing? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What best describes your current need? | This answer separates high-weight opportunities like starting a new program or replacing a provider from lower-weight temporary event coverage. |
| Approximately how many students would the meal program serve daily? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Does your facility currently have a kitchen or food preparation space available? | Existing kitchen or prep space carries a higher weight than facilities without one, since it signals a shorter path to operational meal service. |
| Are you authorized to make decisions or recommendations about this meal program? | A confirmed decision-maker carries the highest weight in the catalog, since it determines whether the lead can actually move to a contract. |
| When do you need the meal program to be operational? | An immediate operational timeline is the only urgency signal in this catalog and should push the lead ahead of planning-stage enquiries. |
| Are there any dietary requirements or restrictions the program must accommodate? | Documented dietary restrictions determine menu complexity and staffing needs before your team schedules a tasting. |

Built for school meal program workflows
| Cliont capability | School Meal Program application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Decision authority and current-need answers carry the heaviest weights in this catalog, so a district replacing its provider outranks a 'not sure yet' enquiry from someone without approval power. |
| Conditional field logic | The kitchen and food-prep space question determines whether a lead needs build-out support or just staffing, letting your team route each enquiry to the right internal contact. |
| Multi-select capture | Dietary requirements are captured as a multi-select list covering allergies, religious needs, and medical diets, so the tasting can be planned around confirmed constraints instead of guesswork. |
| Urgency flagging | An 'Immediately' answer on the operational timeline question triggers priority handling so time-sensitive district or school requests aren't stuck behind planning-ahead enquiries. |
Common school meal program lead scenarios
District launching a new program
A multi-site school district selects 'start a new meal program' with an immediate timeline, which the intake flags as both high-value and urgent so it lands ahead of slower-moving enquiries.
Replacing an underperforming provider
A public school with over 500 students and existing kitchen space is replacing its current food service vendor, giving the lead a strong combination of scale and decision-making authority.
Improving an existing program with allergy needs
A private school wants to improve its current program and flags food allergies and religious dietary requirements, so the intake surfaces those constraints before a tasting is booked.
Daycare exploring options with no kitchen
A daycare selects 'not sure yet' and confirms it has no kitchen or prep space, which the intake still routes through but scores lower than facilities with existing infrastructure.
One-off event coverage request
A staffer covering a temporary or special event need submits the intake without full decision authority, which the intake weighs lower than a program-level request from an authorized contact.

School Meal Program lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle school districts with multiple sites?
The organization type question includes a specific option for school districts or multi-site organizations, so those enquiries are tagged differently from a single public or private school submission.
What happens if the facility doesn't have a kitchen yet?
The kitchen and food-prep space question is a direct yes/no with different weights attached to each answer, so a lead without existing kitchen infrastructure is still captured but scored lower than one with a ready space.
Can the form capture allergy and religious dietary needs before the tasting?
Yes, dietary requirements are a multi-select field covering food allergies, religious or cultural requirements, vegetarian or vegan needs, and medically required diets, so your team sees the full list before scheduling.
How are leads with an immediate start date prioritized?
Selecting 'Immediately' on the operational timeline question is the only urgency signal in this catalog, and it pushes the lead ahead of anyone planning ahead or targeting next term.
What if the person filling out the intake isn't the final decision-maker?
The decision-authority question carries a much higher weight for a 'yes' answer, so enquiries from someone without approval power are still delivered but scored lower than those from an authorized contact.
Does the intake distinguish between starting a new program and replacing a vendor?
Yes, the current-need question separates starting a new program, improving an existing one, and replacing a current provider, each carrying its own weight so your team can tell contract-replacement opportunities apart from early planning enquiries.
