New food contract? New software to set up?

Every new or renewed contract from your vendors introduces new products, and someone has to track down the compliance data for each item. Send us your product list with GTINs, product IDs, or other identifiers. We find the product data and send it back ready to use. No software to learn, no account to manage, no ongoing commitment.

Make food for K‑12? Your products may already be here

We compile product information from publicly available sources so districts can find what they need. As Arlata Procurement launches, you'll be able to claim and manage your own product data directly. Our goal is to make Arlata the best way to share K-12 product data among the community. Questions about how your products appear, or where the data comes from? We're glad to talk.

Why we're here

Arlata exists to take the busywork out of school food procurement. Districts and cooperatives spend too many hours on required paperwork and product data, and we want to let them instead focus on feeding students.

We're a small team with deep roots in K-12 school nutrition technology. We've spent years understanding how school nutrition teams source products and prepare and serve meals, and we're building the infrastructure to make that easier.
