How can our school take lunch orders online?

Use a Raised product campaign with a pickup for each lunch day. Give each day its own menu, set a time when orders for that day close, and share one link with parents. Parents choose a day, see only that day's menu, and order and pay online. Each order is saved against its day, so you can pack and label one day at a time.

How do parents order?

Parents open your link and choose the day they want lunch for. Only the food on offer that day is shown, along with anything you sell every day, such as fruit or drinks. Days past their cutoff are no longer offered.

At checkout they answer the questions you set, such as the student's name and room, and pay by card, cash or bank transfer, depending on what your school accepts. Each order is for one day, so lunch on two days means two orders.

How do you set it up?

Plan your menu by day first. Decide which items are available on which days, the time lunches are handed out, and how late you can take orders while still having time to buy or make the food.

Group your food into a section for each day, plus a section for items available every day.
Create a product campaign and add a collection location for each lunch day, with its date and time.
In the campaign's ordering settings, tick Different menu for each pickup and choose the sections each day offers.
Optionally set a cutoff for each day, for example 9am on the day.
Add a required question for the student's name and room, then share the link with parents.

How do you pack and hand out lunches?

Every order is linked to its day. Filter packing slips and order reports by collection location to work through one day at a time. Sticker labels can print the answers to your custom questions, so each bag shows the student's name and room.

There is no setup fee or monthly subscription. Card payments carry platform and payment processing fees, while cash and bank transfer orders carry none. Check the pricing page for current rates in your country.
