In high school the brown paper bag system is gone. When we give the kids money we round it off to the nearest dollar. It’s funny how it goes but we always seem to round up rather than down. In the history of giving lunch money we couldn’t recall getting any change back. With your school’s canteen online you pay only the amount for the items you order so the change stays in your pocket.

When we give our children canteen money we think they only spend it at the school canteen yet any drive past the local train station or bus stop there always seem to be students walking out of local retail outlets. You can be sure all money you spend via this online system goes directly to the school. What you order is what your child eats.

Our lives are very busy and mornings can be quite hectic. With your canteen online you can order up to a fortnight ahead so Sunday night planning is relaxed and a breeze. Each item on the menu will have the nutritional rating the school uses and as you choose meals you will build an ongoing historic profile to compare against a recommended diet.

You will be interacting directly with the school. Each time you order you will access the system through the school’s web site and see all their recent messages and upcoming events.

As a busy parent you probably don’t want to be bombarded with more marketing. This service provided by your school does not allow direct marketing to you. It does not allow your contact details to be passed to any other parties and it does not store any financial financials details other than that to complete your current order. You may choose to receive a regular email however your privacy is contractually kept in total confidence

In this system the child is constant. The system allows for multiple parents and guardians to place an order from anywhere in the world as long as they have internet access. A child’s orders are displayed for future days and parents and guardians can alternate with placing orders to cover all days. No credit card details are stored within the system and you will have to enter them each time you order so no one else can order on your card.

There are risks when children carry cash. If they lose money they will go hungry, carrying cash can encourage bullying or worse.
