Chaminade-Madonna and Genuine Foods Announce Multi-Year Dining Partnership

A chef-driven, scratch-made program launches this summer for the Lions community in Hollywood, Florida.

Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory and Genuine Foods are partnering on a five-year dining program for the Lions community. Summer service starts June 1, 2026, with a fully reimagined cafeteria opening for the 2026–27 school year.

What's new in the dining program

• Chef-driven, scratch-made stations in the cafeteria, including globally inspired cuisines, home-style grill favorites, and handcrafted pizza
• GenuineX, a custom sports nutrition program for Lions student-athletes, developed with FWDfuel and focused on performance, recovery, and the development of the whole student-athlete
• Immersive hospitality and culinary training for the on-site team, grounded in Genuine Foods' signature service standards
• Student engagement programs including Food Councils, Try-It Tuesdays, surveys, and Food Boards designed to keep menus responsive to student feedback

We wanted a dining partner who shares our commitment to the Lions community — investing in our students through real food, real hospitality, and a program built around the people we serve.
Andre Wangard, Assistant Head of School, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory

The program honors CMCP's Marianist mission and tradition of radical hospitality while elevating the dining experience — from chef-led training and menu development to transparent reporting and stable on-site leadership.
