For Schools

If you work with your school’s hot lunch program you will appreciate all we have to offer. Your parents build their own accounts and order their students’ lunches online. There is no data entry for you to add students. You will know exactly who ordered what every day by grade and alphabetically.  No more waste.

Do you use multiple vendors? No problem. Our system is right if you operate your own kitchen or buy from a variety of restaurants. Hot Lunch Online will let you configure your prices at the school, grade, then meal level (+/- with portion prices).

Does your school have multiple campuses?  No problem.  You can set any number of locations on your school.  The production reports will break things out by location, so you know exactly how many meals to make at each.

We are compatible with multiple payment gateways.  If your school already has an Authorize.Net or PayPal account (or both!), we can hook right in.  We also let you give your parents a choice of which gateway they want to use at checkout time.  If you’d rather not deal with setting up a payment gateway or hook up a bank account, you can use Hot Lunch Online’s gateway.

We are fully compatible with the Federal Free and Reduced School Lunch Program.  Confidentiality is paramount with this program.  We allow you to only grant access to the Free and Reduced information to only authorized personnel.

If you’re still taking orders with printed menus, your parents (and the environment) will love you if you switch to Hot Lunch Online.  Not only is it more convenient, but it does save money since the system tallies up all the orders and handles everything automatically.  Not to mention the money you save on paper and ink.

The calendars you create with Hot Lunch Online aren’t limited to meals.  You can also inform parents of field trips, no school days, tickets to special events and more. There is a news feature that lets you publish news items to certain schools, grades, or everyone!

Yeah yeah yeah, but how much does it cost?  7 cents per meal.  No long term contracts. You pay as you go, and only for what you use.  We truly believe that we are the most affordable and comprehensive school lunch ordering system available on the market today.  Give us a call or shoot us an email, and we’ll prove it to you.
