Online Tuckshop is a FREE solution for schools to give parents the option of ordering meals online from the school canteen. Orders arrive overnight, allowing up to a fortnight ahead. Instead of volunteers collecting paper bags, money, and orders in the morning, they simply press print.
Once parents place an order, the money is already on the way to the school's nominated bank account. No more taking of cash at lunch or recess and working out change. All that needs to happen is for canteen staff to hand out the pre-packed orders.
School Tuckshop Online can provide daily aggregated reporting for total orders. A history of orders per day and season can be accumulated to make re-ordering and stock control more efficient.
This is a user pays system where parents pay a very small surcharge to order items online but ultimately they are still likely to be saving compared to the traditional method. Parent Associations and/or Canteen Coordinators in conjunction with the school can set the total percentage of surcharge to be paid. This surcharge then goes partly to maintain the system (usually 5 or 6%) and the balance is paid to the P&C, school and/or canteen as revenue.
This revenue sharing model allows parent associations and canteens to be partners with parents to improve the health of children, save parents some money and assist in school security. It also provides funds that over time to purchase such items as air conditioning, sporting equipment and computers.
For schools considering our solution we offer a simple step by step, no risk, trial process and it's all totally free. Once you nominate your school, provide us with contact details, a menu and the web site address we can build your site and send you a link to it on a staging platform.
