Zero Cost to Schools
No setup fees, no membership fees, no transaction fees. LunchUp is completely free for schools.
Official Partnership
LunchUp × OFHSA
A better way to run your school's hot lunch program.
LunchUp is the official lunch platform partner of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations. OFHSA member schools enjoy priority access, dedicated support, and a full-service platform at zero cost.
×What is LunchUp?
A school lunch ordering platform that connects Home & School associations with local restaurant vendors.
Parents order online, vendors deliver to school, and fundraising happens automatically with every order.
Automated Fundraising
Set a per-order fundraising amount and it's collected and transferred to your school automatically every week. No spreadsheets, no tracking, no manual work.
Zero Admin Work
Parents manage their own orders, cancellations, and payments. No cash collection, no volunteer coordination needed.
How It Works
From sign-up to fundraising in four steps.
01
We set up the menu and delivery schedule with your school and vendors.
02
Parents order and pay online before the deadline.
03
Vendors prepare meals, label each by student name, pack by classroom, and deliver to school.
04
Every week, fundraising is transferred to the school and meal payments are sent to vendors. Automatically.

Subsidy Program
Schools can configure subsidies for families in need, either a fixed amount or percentage, funded from the school's fundraising balance. Families receive support privately and without stigma.
System-Level Allergy Protection
Student allergy profiles are built into the system. Incompatible orders are blocked automatically.
Email Blast to All Families
Send announcements, reminders, or updates directly to all registered families at your school — right from your Home & School portal.
Recruit Volunteers
Post volunteer opportunities and manage sign-ups directly through the platform. Reach families who are already engaged with the lunch program.
A Deep Partnership
Built together with OFHSA, for Ontario schools.
Our partnership with OFHSA goes beyond a logo on a page. We work closely with the federation to understand what Home & School associations and their communities actually need — and we build accordingly. That means a platform that's genuinely easy to run, and a service team that knows your school by name.
We're also committed to keeping costs low for families. LunchUp charges vendors nothing to be on the platform — no commission, no listing fees, no hidden costs. Because of that, vendors consistently offer lower menu prices to LunchUp schools than they would through other channels. Those savings flow directly to parents, so more families can participate and every lunch day is accessible to every student.
