School Lunch Online Software Systems Help Schools
Meet CDC Protocols

In the past year, many schools have faced
challenges with maintaining their school lunch
programs while following CDC recommendations.
Adopting an online school lunch system makes it
easier for school lunch administrators to ensure
safety while distributing school lunches to
students. School lunch software allows for
schools to accept orders online using online
menus and card payments. The system can generate
online reports that allow for classroom-based
lunch distribution. With classroom-based lunch
distribution, parents and foodservice providers
will be better ensured that students will safely
receive their school lunch. During a
classroom-based distribution model, parents will
pre-order their childs lunch online using
online menus and card payments. They will use a
mobile app or a website to order their childs
lunch from anywhere. The kitchen or cafeteria
staff will receive a report of lunch items
needed for lunch distribution. The system will
help the staff group the meals according to
grade and classroom in order to be distributed
directly to each student. Delivering lunches
directly to the classroom allows for the contact
associated with cafeteria lines be eliminated. To
further reduce the spread of germs, wearing
masks between periods of eating, washing hands
frequently, improving ventilation and using
disposable utensils are also recommended. Other
ways that a school lunch online aims to reduce
contact in ordering and managing school lunches
include going paperless. Unlike in traditional
school lunch programs, parents will no longer
have to fill out paper order forms and hand
their child cash payments to bring to school.
They will instead complete both of those
processes on the online system. This is perfect
for parents on the go as they can complete their
orders ahead of time either online or on the
app. They will no longer have to worry about
their child forgetting or losing the paper order
forms or cash on the way to school and will be
well ensured that their child will receive their
school lunch. School lunch managers will receive
the orders online

and the system will generate online reports to
help them prepare for daily, weekly, or monthly
tasks. This helps them measure inventory,
accounting, and ensure that each student will get
their lunch efficiently. For managers that work
with multiple schools, this type of automation
allows them to effectively manage all their
schools and focus on ensuring students safety
and CDC protocols.
