How it works
How Luncheezy runs a lunch program.
From setting up your school to handing out lunches, here’s every step, in the order you’ll meet them.
Set up your school
Add your school year, terms and days without lunch, then your classes. Invite staff with the role that fits their job, connect your Stripe account, and share your school’s join code with families.
- School year, terms and closure days
- Classes, added by hand or imported from a spreadsheet
- Staff roles: admin, manager, treasurer, office, teacher, kitchen and volunteer
- A join code families use to add their children
- Stripe for card payments straight to your account
Ordering
Parents start from the lunch, then choose for each child. “Same as Maya”, “Plan the month”, the whole-series checkbox and favourites cut the taps. Parents pay once for each seller, and an order paid fully with credit skips payment.
Changes and credits
Parents edit or cancel until the cutoff, for full credit or a refund to their card minus the card processing fee. Marking a child absent before the deadline gives credit, and it can be undone. If the school cancels a lunch, on a snow day for example, everyone gets the full amount back.
- Credit never expires, and it’s used automatically on the next order
- The school chooses whether cancellations default to credit or a refund
- Cancelling a whole lunch refunds or credits every family in one step
Lunch day
Print prep totals, class lists and Avery labels. The kitchen or caterer gets a prep summary by email. On the day, volunteers hand out lunches from a list on their phone that keeps working offline.
Money and reports
See sales and payouts by lunch, with each payout matched to its orders. Record cash, cheque and e-transfer payments with receipts.
- A profit report shows what each lunch raised
- Lunch support quietly lowers what a family pays
- Disputed payments get their evidence put together for you
- Exports for your treasurer and your records
People and access
Nine roles, each seeing only what it needs. Co-parents get their own sign-in with the permissions you choose. Children can order for themselves with a parent’s approval or within a spending limit.
- No passwords: sign in with a code by email or text, or a passkey
- Two-step sign-in for school admins
- Children sign in with a username and PIN, on a family or classroom device
Tap counts
Fewer taps, counted.
- to repeat last week’s order, including paying
- 3 taps
- to order four Pizza Fridays for two children
- About 9 taps
