ORDER IN SECONDS

See the entire week at a glance, with every kid in your family listed separately. Tap to order, tap again to cancel, or order the same meal for everyone at once.

NEVER MISS A CUTOFF

Your school sets the ordering deadline for each lunch day. hotlunch.food can remind you the evening before if a kid still needs a lunch ordered.

KNOW WHAT'S FOR LUNCH

See your school's published menu, including prices, so you can choose exactly what each kid wants. Extra milk for one. No dessert for another. Everyone gets what they need.

SEE YOUR BALANCE

Keep track of every lunch charge and payment your school records in one running balance. No more wondering whether a payment was received or how much you owe.

CHANGE YOUR MIND

Plans change. Cancel or switch a lunch any time before your school's cutoff.

KNOW WHO ORDERED

If a teacher or school office adds a lunch for your kid, hotlunch.food shows who added it. No more mystery charges.

HOW IT WORKS

Your school office creates your family's account and sends you your login. Sign in and your kids are already there.

You order lunch. The kitchen gets the count. Your school records the payment.

That's it.

PAYMENTS

hotlunch.food does not process payments.

You pay your school directly using whatever method your school accepts — cash, check, or the school's own online payment system. Your school's office records those payments in hotlunch.food, and the balance you see reflects their records.

PRIVACY

hotlunch.food collects only what's needed to run your school's lunch program: your name and email, your kids' names and classes, and their lunch orders.

No advertising. No tracking. No selling your data.

Students don't have their own accounts and are never asked to provide information.
