School lunch ordering that runs itself.
Give your school families their own ordering site under your brand. They pick meals on a calendar and pay online. The money goes straight to your Stripe account, and tomorrow's orders, labels and totals are ready when you walk in.
Stop running lunch on paper forms and Venmo.
Most school caterers juggle order forms, spreadsheets, payment apps and late changes. LunchLoom replaces all of it with one site your families already know how to use.
Without LunchLoom
- Paper forms and emailed spreadsheets every week
- Chasing families for checks, Venmo and cash
- Retyping orders and hand-writing labels before dawn
- Late changes by text that never make it to the kitchen
With LunchLoom
- Families order online for the week, month or term
- Paid up front by card, deposited to your own Stripe account
- Kitchen totals and printable labels for every child, every day
- An order cutoff you set, so changes stop when you say
Try it free at one school for your first month
Start with one school. We load your menu from the one you already have, set up your ordering site and walk your first families through it. Pay nothing for the first month. If it does not save you time, walk away.
Start a pilotWhat it saves you
Count the hours you spend each week on order forms, payment reminders, retyping orders and writing labels. At 5 hours a week and $25 an hour, that is about $540 a month. LunchLoom is $200 per school, and families pay up front, so you also stop losing money on unpaid lunches.
How it works
Set up your menu
Add your meals, photos, prices and add-ons, then lay them out on your lunch calendar.
Families order and pay
Parents add each child, choose meals by day and check out by card. You set the order cutoff time.
You cook and deliver
Each morning you get kitchen totals and a label for every child's meal, sorted and ready to print.

Questions caterers ask
Do families need to download an app?
No. They use a website on their phone or computer, create an account once, and add each child.
Who holds the money?
You do. Payments go directly into your own Stripe account. LunchLoom bills you separately for the subscription.
How long does setup take?
Most caterers are ready within a week. Send us your current menu and we load it for you, then help your first families place orders.
Can I serve more than one school?
Yes. Each child is linked to their school, so you can see orders, labels and totals school by school, all in one account.
What if a child is absent?
You decide. Issue a credit toward a future meal, refund the order, or apply your own policy.
