Manage Your School Lunch Choice Online

Parents are constantly on the go whether they are
juggling multiple children, work, or the many
tasks of life. The process of ordering and paying
for their childs school lunch choice must be
made easier. With an online system, the hassle of
paper order forms and cash payment is removed
from the school lunch ordering process. Families
have grown increasingly accustomed to placing
orders online with online menus and payments.
Switching your school lunch ordering, management,
and payment to an online system will bring your
school lunch program to the 21st century.
Additionally, with the introduction of an app,
ordering and paying for school lunch is made
even easier and can be accessed from both home,
work, or on the go. Parents will be able to
access menus online that contain nutritional and
allergen information. This makes it easier for
families to manage their childs school lunch
choice and the nutrition that their child
receives while they are at school. They will
simply make their choice, securely pay for the
lunches online, and their child will be able to
receive their lunch when they are at school. When
using the system, each students school lunch
choice will be pre-paid and pre-ordered. A child
will simply have to state their name or student
ID number to receive their lunch. This can
significantly slow the wait time and increase
efficiency when distributing school lunches. To
help ensure safety during times when social
distancing is required, this online system can
accommodate a classroom-based distribution model.
Distributing lunches to students in classrooms
can help slow the spread of germs that may occur
in the school lunchroom or lines. The system can
also accommodate families that qualify for
reduced lunches. They access the same online
system and make payments that are adjusted to fit
the program that they are a part of. The online
ordering, payment, and management system can be
used any time your school is administering meals.
The same system can be used at fundraisers,
afterschool care, and more. This helps parents
ensure that their child can access meals every
time it is offered at school while also helping
foodservice providers, helping them to manage
their school lunch business each time meals are
being distributed.

Perfect for School Lunch Administrators An online
school lunch system allows for all aspects of the
school lunch program to be in one space. In
addition to accessing orders and receiving
payment on the online system, school lunch
administrators can also use the tool for
management and creating reports. The POS system
allows managers to track what has been ordered
throughout the day so that they can best prepare
for upcoming lunches. The system is designed so
that foodservice providers can manage orders,
plan for upcoming orders, and view financial
reports. Switching to an online management system
allows school lunch administrators to eliminate
contact between customers and other staff
members. Instead of sharing forms, reporting
will be provided through the software. The
reports can be accessed online and can be
automated. They can be downloaded via email, PDF,
or CSV so that managers can easily integrate
these reports into their existing accounting
system. This helps to not only eliminate contact
but also to prevent paper reports from being
lost. The need for contactless options in
foodservice is more critical now than ever. A
school lunch software helps to make the school
lunch ordering and management process convenient
and as contactless as possible. An online school
lunch software can be set up in minutes. This
makes it simple for administrators to switch to
the 21st century. The system helps to save you
time and money because of the way that it
streamlines and automates the school lunch
management process. For foodservice providers
that manage multiple schools, the system allows
for them to use the same tool for each school.
There is an ability to send mass emails to your
customers to contact them for questions or
updates. The system makes it easy to contact
customers by providing email templates.
Additionally, the online system allows users to
brand their site with logos, theme colors, and
fonts. The dashboards can be managed centrally,
keeping everything, you need to run your
business in the same place. Support staff and
articles are made available to help managers
with any questions that they have about the
system as they set up and throughout their time
using the system.
