The best, brightest schools across the country partner with us for all their fresh food, canteen, classroom and everyday needs. Here are ten reasons why you should, too.
1. It’s a smart solution for your entire school
We know that operating structures vary from school to school. But whether your canteen is run independently, by P&C or under the same umbrella as the rest of the school, Woolworths at Work can be customised to suit.
You can easily set up a single account for your school, invite multiple staff members and order across every department. Or, if you need to keep things separate, you can set up individual accounts for the canteen, OOSH and general classroom and staff room supplies.
2. You never have to pay for delivery again
Don’t waste your budget on delivery fees. Choose one of our free next-day delivery windows1 and save that extra money for more important things – like Tim Tams in the staff room. We have loads of guaranteed recurring delivery options before 8am to ensure you’re set up for the day before the students arrive. And if you’re flat out with canteen menu planning, lesson prep or never-ending admin, choose ‘Bagless to bench’ as your delivery option and we’ll unpack your order for you2.
3. 20,000+ products to choose from
We know that schools have dozens of moving parts – different departments with different needs. That’s why we’ve curated a broad range of products to suit the whole team. From treats, tea and coffee for the staff room, to ready-made lunches and snacks for the canteen – even fresh ingredients to whip up tasty meals in food technology class – we’ve got you covered.
4. Quality produce picked fresh from local farmers
It’s our goal to ensure the fruit and veg that ends up in your school canteen or classroom kitchen is never grown too far away. That’s why we partner with thousands of farmers across the country to source high-quality, fresh Australian produce. We choose homegrown items wherever possible, with 96% of fruit and veg and 100% of fresh meat, eggs and milk sourced directly from Australian farming communities. And if you’re not 100% happy with your fresh produce, we’ll fully refund you.3
5. Say goodbye to paperwork
No principal, educator or canteen manager needs more paperwork. Our line of credit4 service is designed to remove the hassle of manual paperwork, reconciliation and accounting. When you place an order, we’ll automatically send the important info to your administrator. At the end of the billing cycle, we’ll send you a single invoice. It’s completely digital, automated and provides visibility for easy financial reporting.
6. Easy in-store shopping
Need to pick up a few last-minute items? You can link an in-store card to your Work Account line of credit for seamless shopping. No more scanning and submitting receipts, no more manual reconciliation and no more juggling petty cash.
7. No more stockpiling from sales with consistent pricing
We offer competitive, consistent pricing5 across a range of everyday essentials, so you can be confident you’re getting great value every time you place an order. No surprises at the checkout. No need to stockpile and suddenly have to find a home for 80 rolls of paper towel. No need to spend time hunting for deals. Just consistent, reliable prices you can trust.
8. Helping you get set you up for the day
Who has time to wait around for a delivery? Definitely not a busy head teacher or school canteen manager. That’s why we exclusively reserve a portion of the Woolworths delivery fleet to ensure schools, early learning centres and other education providers can get the items they need before the students pile in.6 Get guaranteed recurring delivery before 8am – if you select Bagless to Bench as your delivery method, we’ll even unpack your order for you to free up your time for more important things.
9. We care for your community
As proud members of the Woolworths Group, we are committed to giving back to our community. From partnering with OzHarvest to support food relief for vulnerable Australians to providing Junior Landcare Grants to bring school gardening projects to life, we take pride in bringing a little good to everyone, every day.
10. We’re here to help, whenever you need it
When you have a million things on your mind, it’s a great comfort to know you have access to help and support if you need it. Our Business Support Hub is available via phone and email from 7am-7pm every day of the week. They’re ready to answer questions, help with delivery or stock-related enquiries and make sure you’re getting the most out of Woolworths at Work.
