Why Switch School Lunch?
to Online

Schools across North America are moving to an
online system to accommodate their hot lunches
for school. The traditional methods of paying,
ordering, and managing school lunches no longer
meet the demands of today. With the traditional
methods of school lunch, parents must send their
child to school with paper order forms and cash.
Both can easily get misplaced on the way to
school. Plus, it can be hard for school lunch
managers to keep track of these papers for the
many schools they work with. Hot Lunch provides
an online system for ordering and managing hot
lunches for school. Benefits for Parents Parents
will order their students hot lunches for school
on the hot lunch mobile app or website. They can
browse through detailed menus with nutritional
and allergy information to choose the best
option for their childs needs. These menus
empower parents to have greater control of the
lunches that their child receives at school.
Once they have selected their lunch choice, they
order and pay online. The payments are made
securely and can be made ahead of time. Parents
prefer this online system to the traditional
models because they are able to order their
childs lunch from anywhere. Benefits for
Managers School lunch managers utilize the
hotlunch.com online system to track orders that
are coming in through the system. Reports will
automatically be generated to help them
understand what needs to be ordered ahead of
time to prepare the next week of lunches. In
addition to order reports, accounting reports
will be sent via email to be downloaded. They
are made to be compliant with your existing
accounting system. For managers that work with
multiple schools, they can use one system to
streamline the work. They can make decisions for
every school at the same time or make individual
updates for each school. Managers can also add
logos

and theme colors to the online ordering system.
Managers can also send messages to parents using
the app to share any necessary updates regarding
the hot lunches for schools. Social Distance
Compliant Administrators have been faced with the
challenge of keeping up their school lunch
system while maintaining social distancing
guidelines. Hot Lunch accommodates
classroom-based distribution. The system can
help automatically sort students by their
classroom so that their lunch choice can be
delivered directly to their classroom, avoiding
crowded cafeterias and lunch lines. This saves
administrators time and money. Hot Lunch can help
bring your hot lunches for school into the 21st
century. Modernizing your school lunch program
can benefit parents, food service providers, and
help improve the safety of students. Contact us
