Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the true meaning of service and sacrifice. We remember the brave men and women who gave everything so we could gather, cook, and celebrate together.

Thank you to their families and all who continue their legacy.

As K‑12 service models evolve - grab‑and‑go, classroom delivery, and traditional cafeterias - North Star’s school portfolio is built to adapt.

Meiko dishmachines help keep wares turning quickly, UNOX and Legion steam support batch cooking and retherm, Sammic for prep, Continental and AmeriKooler manage bulk cold storage, BevLes supports hot holding, and GA Systems mobile lines make it easier to serve students in multiple locations.

Check out our K‑12 solutions page at northstaragency.com/schools and contact North Star Agency to talk through equipment strategies for your district.​

Fresh from our Meiko training: proof that these dishmachines deliver the best efficiency and lowest total cost of ownership in foodservice.

The North Star Agency team saw Meiko in action - with significant reductions in water, energy, and chemical use, plus faster cycles and less labor.

Trade show conversations don’t end at the booth - our test kitchen is where we dive deeper with UNOX, AccuTemp, and Streivor to explore real menus, workflows, and ventilation strategies.

Our test kitchen sessions are focused on consistent batch cooking, faster recovery on the griddle, and capturing heat and grease effectively over the entire line.

Reach out to North Star Agency to plan a hands-on session in our test kitchen tailored to your operation’s menu and line-up.​

Our new test kitchen is taking shape, and it’s being designed with school foodservice in mind—featuring Meiko, Sammic prep equipment, LBC ovens, Unox combis, Amerikooler cold storage, and Streivor hoods for effective ventilation.

As we share progress photos, we’ll also map out how this space can host hands-on trainings, menu testing, and grant-supported equipment demos.
