FUKUOKA -- On a mid-March day just before breaking for spring holiday, a large group of students at Fukuoka Futaba School in Fukuoka City's Chuo Ward gathered on the first floor to get their lunches. But they were not in a cafeteria.
The students had come to pick up boxed lunches that they had ordered, which they brought back to their classrooms of the combined junior and senior high school to eat.
A start-up in Fukuoka City developed the boxed lunch ordering system specifically for students whose schools do not serve lunches, and the service has been spreading nationwide.
