Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a school lunch program at my school?
It's simple! First, introduce LunchUp to your school's administration, Home and School association, or Parent Council. Once the school agrees to join, we'll connect with popular local restaurants in your area that kids love. After setup is complete, parents can create an account and start ordering. Contact us to get started.
Our school already uses another lunch platform. How do we switch to LunchUp?
Switching is much easier than you might think! All we need is your classroom list to get started. We can even help migrate your families' existing credit balances from your old platform. Plus, we'll work with your school's favorite vendors to bring them onto LunchUp. Contact us to discuss your transition.
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.
