Mealsite delivers a turn-key school lunch ordering solution that allows you to accept web orders for school lunches at a fixed monthly cost per school. Parents, students, and faculty place orders and pay online at their convenience. Your lunch website will generate daily reports to know how many meals to prepare and who they are for.
With Mealsite you are in full control of the customer experience. You can setup your menu to allow advance orders as far as your menu is planned. You can also set a cut-off time for orders such as the day before by 10 PM or same day by 8 AM. Everything is configurable to make the order system match your existing lunch program exactly and offer more flexibility than other school cafeteria software.
There are many advantages for having a dedicated meal site. We have listed a few below:
- Competitive Advantage - When bidding or competing for contracts with local businesses, you will be able to offer the convenience, organization, and reporting features of an online ordering system.
- Supply Purchases - Take the guesswork out of stocking food supplies. Use the reports from your meal website to see the demand for your menu offerings. Lunch preorders mean less waste in the kitchen!
- Business Cash Flow - Being paid in advance for meals creates a positive cashflow, allowing you to purchase food supplies from cash on hand.
- Customer Convenience - Parents can order in advance daily, weekly, monthly, or even further depending on how early you make your lunch menus available.
- More Consumer Choice - Our interactive, calendar-based menu system allows you to specify meal, drink, and additional choices for each day. This is fully customizable by the operations team. Thanks to accurate reporting of meal orders you will be able to easily expand the choices available if you choose to do so.
