  • Visits to food production facilities are scheduled, where students are informed about the processing and storage of raw materials as well as the promotion of products.
  • A vegetable garden is maintained on the Kindergarten - Elementary School premises, in order for the students to discover the value of biological products.

Menus are designed by nutritional experts and are based on the Mediterranean diet, using, where possible, raw materials tested for their quality and origin with the exclusion of unnecessary animal fat or additional chemicals.

  • Meals are prepared on the day they are served and are delivered on time
  • Meals are GMO and nut free and thus cannot cause allergies
  • Meals come in individual trays, which cover all the hygiene requirements and contain labels of calories and nutrients
  • Parents can select as many days as they wish depending on the student's participation in extracurricular or after-school activities or in the study program
  • When a student is absent, the charge for the day's meals is still applied.

In order to participate you need to fill out the online registration form at the Schools' digital platform mymandoulides.

Once you have done so, a private agreement between you (parent - legal custodian) and the catering company will be sent to you. Signing the private agreement is a necessary condition for participation in the program. The private agreement is signed only once, after you fill out the first registration form.

The registration form must be submitted by the 20th of each month along with the days of the following month for which you will require the catering company’s services. Payment must be made by the 25th for the upcoming month in the catering company’s bank account.

“Kouzin” is a lifestyle. We get the best organic raw materials from small, certified, organic farms and small farmers from Greece. In the spirit of "farm to table", we taste recipes thanks to the use of the purest Greek organic products, and our chefs’ creativity.

We use proper cooking techniques without needing to use added fat, preservatives & mainly palmoil free.

This way, we manage to make new, tasty recipe suggestions which constitute a mix of familiarity and modernity. Following strict diagrams, we check the orders of the quantities of the raw materials, their storage, and the arrival of customers, so that the food products do not end up getting thrown away due to their alteration caused by poor management.

Moreover, all packages used for the transportation of food products are biodegradable or recyclable. The importance of sustainability in the field of gastronomy requires commitment to the sustainable model in our cuisine, in order to build environmental awareness of our customers.

Thanks to this principle, we got certified as a model organic cuisine following the requirements and protocols of the certifying body “BIOHELLAS”.

We would like to welcome you to “Kouzin” considering love, wellness, and respect towards our body through our great flavors.
