In this last weekend of school holidays, Saturday November 5, the companies in charge of school catering are demanding a 9% increase in contracts signed with communities following inflation.

Will the canteen meal tray cost more? 3.2 million children have lunch every day in a canteen delivered by a private service provider. The latter is demanding an increase in the price of his service, which could affect families.With everything else increasing, we find ourselves doing calculations“, admits a mother. Another mother says she thinks about taking her child home every other day to eat.

In a forum, of which Le Parisien published an extract, companies are demanding an increase of at least 9%. If this is not possible, they ask to break the contract. In question, the rise in the prices of energy and raw materials. Many municipalities have already agreed to revise their contract upwards. But a few weeks before the closure of the municipal budget, this request is going badly. The companies ensure that the quantities served and the varieties required by law will not be changed.
