Frequently Asked Questions
Is LunchUp free for parents?
Yes! No setup fee, no annual fee, and no membership charges – completely free for both schools and parents.
How does LunchUp handle allergies and dietary restrictions?
Our workflow captures allergy details during ordering and enforces vendor and menu‑level checks. Labels and packing lists surface allergy information to reduce risk. Learn more about our safety systems.
How hard is the meal distribution?
Meals arrive individually labeled and grouped by classroom. In most schools, 1–2 volunteers can finish distribution quickly. Learn more about our distribution system.
Can I cancel or modify my child's lunch orders?
Yes! You can cancel individual meal orders before the order deadline (typically 24-48 hours before delivery). Cancelled orders are automatically refunded to your LunchUp Credit for future use.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards and debit cards through our secure PCI-compliant payment system. You can also use LunchUp credits.
What is the "Sponsor a Meal For a Child" program?
This program allows you to sponsor nutritious meals for children whose families need support. When you sponsor a meal during checkout, it's quietly provided to a child in need, ensuring no child is left out during lunchtime.
Can I order lunches for multiple children?
Absolutely! You can add multiple students to your account and order meals for each child individually. Each student can have different meal preferences, allergy requirements, and delivery schedules.
How fresh are the meals and how are they kept safe?
All meals are prepared fresh by approved local vendors following strict food safety standards. Meals are delivered in temperature-controlled packaging and arrive at schools just before lunch service to ensure optimal freshness and safety.
