Dan's Diner-New Lunch Service

Hello Parents, Teachers and Staff, 

My name is Tara and I am pleased to announce our school lunch service called “Dan’s Diner” at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic School. 

My goal is to provide healthy food items that kids will eat but also offer items that will entice kids to try new foods. To make things simple to start, orders must be placed in advance online and only placed for a week at a time. I cannot accept walk ups at this time but am hopeful to have this service in the future. 

 The menu will be broken down into 4 parts under the Weekly Offering tab:

1. We will offer a soup/salad option for $5 – It is a standard 8oz side salad and a 6oz cup of soup. These items will be rotated daily. 
2. We will offer a daily hot lunch special item served with 2 sides, and small dessert 
   1. Prices are $4/child for grades PK3, PK4, and Kindergarten only**This is based on smaller portion sizes for the younger children**
   2. Prices are $5/child for grades 1st-8th grade as well as Faculty/Staff Members
3. Every week we will offer a Hot Item Weekly Special for $5- for the first week, we will offer Hamburgers and the sides will be the same as what is being served on the daily hot lunch special item. This can be ordered any day during the week. 
4. I am working to bring in milk cartons to be available for $1. In the meantime, I do have gallons of 2% milk for any child that would like it. It will be a standard 12 oz cup. Almond milk will be available for $1.50. 

After viewing menu offerings, head over to the Order Here tab and select the item and day for the item to be prepared. Be sure when checking out to leave any notes about Child name, grade, dietary restrictions, allergies, etc. 

 Menus for the coming week’s offerings will post every Friday afternoon. Ordering will be turned off at 9pm 2 days before lunch service is executed (i.e., Tuesday at 9pm, ordering will turn off for Thursday lunch service, etc.). This allows me time to adjust recipes and secure product for ordering. 

When you have a chance, check out www.dansdineratx.com to familiarize yourselves with the ordering process. Ordering is live now so you can create an account and place orders.  

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I welcome all forms of feedback to make this a great thing for our kiddos.
