Darioush Epicurus provides dining services for schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our complete cafeteria lunch program include preparation, kitchen and serving area set-up and clean-up, staffing, and a variety of custom menus.
Our foods provide a colorful cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to entice and support healthy happy food choices in the children we serve. We love working with school administration to create our healthy delicious menus for students and faculty. With your input, we set up your kitchen to be functional and affordable.
To serve diverse cultures and lifestyles, we customize a program that best suits your school or organization's needs. Some of the ways we do that is with attention to special diets. For instance, a vegetarian option is always available. And Kosher, nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free meals are available upon request.

Full-service hot meals with set-up, service, and clean-up.
A salad and sandwich bar is included with all hot meals. Children can eat as much healthy hot entree, soup, or sandwich as needed. This is vastly different than the one- serving policy most school caterers follow.
