about us

We’re all about making it easier to manage what kids eat at school and making life a little bit easier for busy parents.

Most of all, we’re about providing schools and catering companies simple to use online lunch order, payment & distribution solutions which offer customized food choices to meet the requirements of every parent, every kid and every school.

We deliver a complete web-based solution that automates the purchasing, management, tracking and distribution of school lunches and as a result provides an efficient system for parents and schools to manage and track lunch orders.

As the pioneer in school lunch software, orderlunches.com was designed to replace the complicated task of organizing and managing school lunch programs.  Secure, fast and easy to use, orderlunches.com allows parents to preorder, prepay and manage student lunches while providing schools and/or catering companies a system that compiles, tabulates and organizes all the information necessary to easily manage a school lunch program - effectively eliminating hundreds of required volunteer hours.

Our first customer in 2001 was a school lunch catering company that supplies schools with menu planning, lunch assembly/preparation, and daily distribution to many schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Now with many years of experience in this industry, orderlunches.com is applying its knowledge and understanding of the school meal order and distribution business with the most robust and successful online school ordering solution available.

It’s not all about the software
We have a proven track record and most important satisfied customers because aside from providing great software, our customer service is second to none.
