This project will offer bento boxes featuring popular dishes among teens, supervised by Orange Page, and sold exclusively through the "PECOFREE" app at participating junior and high schools.

Popular Teen Dishes for School Lunch

Orange Page has been a trusted source of information on cooking and daily life through services like its lifestyle magazine "Orange Page," first published in 1985. "PECOFREE" is a school lunch platform being introduced in schools and after-school clubs nationwide, connecting schools, families, and local bento providers through a system that handles everything from ordering to payment on a smartphone.

This collaboration brings together PECOFREE's lunch service infrastructure and Orange Page's expertise in home cooking.
