Can DoorDash Deliver a Better Lunch?

Have you ever felt hungry and like you want your favorite food throughout the school day? It is shown to be very beneficial to the brain to be snacking throughout the day. This is a problem because there is not always appetizing food available in the cafeteria and a lot of students don’t eat breakfast in the mornings. Allowing students to DoorDash to school would solve this problem because they can have food from any place they want and it would not have to be provided by the school.  

Many students find themselves very bored, especially on block days in their study halls, and would want to DoorDash food. If the students are paying for this food with their own money then it wouldn't hurt the school and it would actually save the school money because they wouldn't be funding for extra cafeteria snacks. This would not be a big distraction because there is a door right in the cafeteria where the DoorDasher could just drop the food off and be on their way. 

Some people may argue that DoorDashing to the school can be a safety issue but it is shown that the DoorDash program is very safe. According to “Moneyzine,” “According to DoorDash’s website, over 99.99% of deliveries are completed without any safety incidents.”  The case of something going wrong with a DoorDash delivery is extremely rare and since it is being delivered to a school, there is constant security that are on patrol. 

Being able to DoorDash to the school can also be beneficial because it is shown that eating multiple snacks throughout the day is beneficial. According to “The Nutrition Source,”, “It provides a boost of energy if several hours pass between meals and blood glucose levels drop.”  This can also be helpful for students’ grades. If they are more energized and motivated, then they will be more likely to focus in school.

Overall, if students are eating food that they enjoy throughout the day and have the freedom to order what they want, they will be more focused and more motivated in school.
