Meals & Catering

Primary school meal management made easy

Run lunch service the way modern caterers and schools need to: parents preorder allergy‑safe meals at home, kitchens get accurate counts ahead of time and the counter recognises every child on the day through our point-of-service.

Free school meals, universal infant FSM and paid meals are tracked accurately, with daily sign‑off so billing reconciliation is dispute‑free.

How it works

From menu setup to point-of-service. One connected meal service.

Six steps that keep your menu builder, parent app, kitchen and point-of-service in sync — so every child gets the right meal, safely.

01

Build menus in minutes

Set up standard and allergy-safe menus in the background using a simple drag-and-drop builder.

02

Capture allergies in the app

Parents upload dietary requirements and medical proof through Scopay; the school and caterer approve them before ordering unlocks.

03

Parents only see safe choices

Menus filter automatically for each child. Parents order a day to a month ahead. Even set a repeating pattern.

04

Kitchens know what to cook

Orders flow through ahead of service so kitchen staff prep accurate quantities of the right meals.

05

The right meal to the right child

At the POS the child selects their face; the server sees name, meal and allergy info. Walk-ins are only offered safe options.

06

Close the day cleanly

End-of-service report flags no-shows and submits numbers to the office or caterer for quick, dispute-free reconciliation.
