Dickson County High School Students Use Meals Plus to Gain Business Experience

Dickson County High School students are using their district’s child nutrition point of sale software in a whole new way.

In early 2014, Dickson County School District (TN) saw an opportunity to help students attain professional experience by launching and managing a fully-functional business. A dozen hard-working students were at school by 7:00 a.m. to apply the skills they learned in the classroom to manage The Den, the school’s student-based coffee shop and bookstore.  With the help of Business Technology and Future Business Leaders of America Advisor Emily Gulledge, the program was a success and the experience invaluable.

“We could not be running and as smoothly as we are without Meals Plus,” said a Dickson County High School Senior. “Meals Plus’ point of sale software has been an absolute blessing to have inside of our business. We have had no issues with the system, and we are able to tweak it in any way we like to fit our needs. Meals Plus is reliable and is an all-in-one system that has made all of our lives easier. The Den would like to thank Meals Plus for all they have done to make our operation run the way it does.”

Meals Plus would like to congratulate Emily and her students for making The Den such a success!
