Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Based on comparable NYC school renovation contracts, a city‑wide cafeteria upgrade program typically ranges from several hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars, depending on the number of sites and the extent of equipment upgrades. A reasonable estimate would be $500,000 on the low end for a limited‑scope pilot rollout, up to $2,000,000 for a full‑city implementation covering many schools.
