Long Lines For Lunch                                                                                         

There is a big issue that teachers and students face daily. This problem is finding time to eat lunch. Students and teachers are forced to wait in long lines that take up to 75% of their lunch time. Sometimes they decide not to eat at all because they have an important meeting. This is a problem because everyone needs nutrition to function daily. Especially growing students because they are learning and at this point in their life is when their brain needs the most nutrition and time to learn. Teachers have lots of work to do as well, which is why they need to be able to just take at most 5 minutes to grab a lunch and get back to work.
