Pricing

Simple pricing. No fees for parents.

Luncheezy is paid by whoever sells the lunch: your school, parent council or caterer. Parents pay the menu price and nothing more.

How the money moves

Parents pay the seller. The seller pays us.

  1. 1

    The parent pays

    A parent pays $7 for a lunch, the price on the menu.

  2. 2

    Stripe pays the seller

    Stripe deposits it to the seller’s bank, minus Stripe’s card fee.

  3. 3

    Luncheezy’s fee

    On Starter, Luncheezy’s 25¢ comes out of that sale. On School or Unlimited, there’s no per-lunch fee.

Stripe’s card fees

The seller pays these on every plan. They depend on how often families pay, so ordering the month at once saves money.

Families pay each week
$1,746.24 a year
Families pay each month
$1,098.24 a year
Families pay each term
$909.24 a year

Paying monthly instead of weekly saves about $648.00 a year.

Estimates for planning only. Assumes every lunch is paid by card, about 1.33 children per family, and Stripe’s standard Canadian rate as of September 2026 (2.9% + 30¢ per checkout); international cards cost more. Taxes not included.

Who pays

The seller pays. Parents see one price.

Whoever sells the lunches (the school office, the parent council or a caterer) pays Luncheezy. Families see one all-in price, and nothing is added at checkout.

Canadian law requires an advertised price to include every mandatory fee, and parents deserve one honest number. So our fee is part of the seller’s costs, like rent or ingredients.

Want parents to cover it? Add 25¢ to your meal price. On a $7 lunch, that’s still one clear price.

Card processing is charged by Stripe to the seller (2.9% + 30¢ per payment). Ordering the whole month at once means fewer payments and lower card fees.

Pricing questions

The fine print, in plain words.

What counts as a paid lunch?

One child’s lunch on one day from one seller. Extra items and choices don’t add fees.

What’s a lunch day?

A school day with at least one paid lunch. Menus you publish that nobody orders don’t count.

What happens in summer?

Monthly plans are billed September to June, so there’s nothing to pay in July and August. Schools with a summer program can keep their plan running.

Can we pay by invoice or cheque?

Yes, on yearly plans. Talk to us and we’ll set it up.

Is there a trial?

Starter itself is free to start: there’s no monthly fee, so you can set up and try everything before families order. Founding schools get a 30-day trial of the School plan, with no card.

Do you charge tax?

Our prices don’t include taxes. The sales taxes that apply in your province are added to Luncheezy’s fee or subscription.

Can families cover the cost?

Yes: raise your menu price. Parents still see one price, with nothing added at checkout.

What does Stripe charge?

Stripe charges the seller 2.9% + 30¢ per checkout for Canadian cards; international cards cost more. It’s deducted from payouts, on every plan. Lunches paid with credit have no card fee.

We use a caterer. Who pays?

Each seller pays for its own sales. When a caterer sells the lunch, the Starter fee comes out of the caterer’s sales, unless the school is on a School or Unlimited plan.

Are annual plans refundable?

No. Upgrades take effect right away; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the period.

What if our subscription lapses?

Lunches never stop. Your school moves back to Starter until you renew.

No card needed to set up. You pay only when families order.
