We are thrilled to be embarking upon our second decade of lunch service to Bay Area students. Kid Chow’s mission is to serve the highest quality, locally sourced meals in a sustainably responsible and affordable way. We are committed to using the best possible ingredients:
ABF and hormone free meats and dairy, nitrate-free deli and 100% fresh organic fruit and vegetables EVERY DAY (ok, 90% when nature doesn’t cooperate!). Our menu and facility is nut-free and offers an array of gluten-free, non-dairy and vegetarian menu options. Kid Chow offers kids a VIRTUAL CAFETERIA; each lunch from our extensive daily selection is custom-ordered and individually packed right down to the bread, condiment and snack in each student’s lunch. The type of beans in your child’s burrito matters! Your child will receive a personalized, homespun meal as though it were prepared at home by you.
Pizza Day – THURSDAYS will be PTA-sponsored Pizza Day fundraiser offered to ALL RUSD students. Pizza will be provided by local pizza vendors Rocco’s and Stefanos. Pizza orders are placed through a special online form and not the standard Kid Chow website.
Pizza Day flyers with the specific ordering information will be handed out to students the first day back at school. No Kid Chow is offered on Thursdays.
Price: Each Kid Chow lunch comes with a portioned entrée by grade range and optional “a la carte” sides and drink. Entree prices are $3.50 (K-4th), $4.00 (5th-8th). Sides ($.75) and optional drinks are available for an additional cost. A portion of each lunch purchase goes to the RUSD PTA. Kid Chow entrees are targeted at 80% of the USDA recommended portion size for each grade level and do not constitute a complete meal.
NEW – Portion Increase Options! Kid Chow now allows you to increase Pk-4th grade meals (where applicable) to middle school portions for an additional $.50 and 2nd entrées may be added for all meals for an additional $2.75.
How to Order: Kid Chow ordering and payment (MC/Visa) is 100% online. To register, go to our website at
www.kidchow.com and click on Register/Login. Once you have registered, please download the Kid Chow Ordering Overview and review the various lunch ordering options. Returning families will be asked to update their account information.
Ordering Made Easy: Our website offers many helpful features such as lunch personalization, editing and copying. Kid Chow will even place your child’s lunch orders for you. Kid Chow’s AUTOMATED ORDERING allows you to set up a personalized menu profile of your child’s food preferences and schedule.
Lunch Handout: At lunch time, each child will pick-up a brown lunch bag, labeled with their name and grade, which contains their personalized cold lunch items. Hot lunch entrees will be stored in an electric warming oven and handed out to students.
Order Deadlines: Kid Chow has two order deadlines:
Standard and Late. Standard: Kid Chow’s Standard Order Deadline is Monday night at midnight one week prior to any lunch week. For example, the Standard order deadline for the week of 9/3 – 9/7 is Monday 8/27 at midnight.

up to 9:00 a.m. the day prior to any lunch day. There is a $.50 cent late processing charge.
Cancel Deadlines (NEW): Kid Chow has two cancel deadlines:
Standard and Late. Standard: Parents can cancel for full credit by
