How it Works
Plan Smarter, Serve Faster

1. Set the Menu and Ordering Window
Pre-orders can be opened for days, weeks, or a full month.
2. Students or Parents Place Orders Online
Orders are placed through the same PaySchools Central account they already use.

3. Real-time Visibility for Your Team
View counts by site, grade, or item to simplify planning.
4. Serve with Confidence
Orders flow into your kitchen dashboard or production reports for easy prep and distribution. A Short Walkthrough Video.

- No new logins or systems to learn
- Orders and payments tied to the same student account
- Admin visibility across pre-orders, point-of-sale, and payments
