Chaos with Berlin school meals - what happens next
Massive problems with the new caterer 40 Seconds have caused chaos with school meals in Berlin. The caterer failed to deliver meals to 21 schools in Neukölln, leading to concerns over the future of the contract.
Three scenarios have emerged: the Beatrix-Potter-Grundschule has organized alternative meal provision, 40 Seconds must present a plan to address the issues or face termination, and a new bidding process for school catering is being considered. This is not the first time 40 Seconds has faced criticism, as several schools experienced delivery and service issues in the first week of school.
The root of the problem lies in the procurement process, where price is prioritized over other factors. The ongoing chaos has disrupted regular classes, leaving many children without meals and forcing early dismissals.
The responsibility for the situation has been attributed to both the caterer and the district authorities, with calls for contract termination and further investigations into the procurement system.
