Cloud Meals - School meals online ordering system

What is Cloud Meals?

Cloud Meals provides a simple, streamlined, and cost effective online solution to ordering school meals.

As the school, you will enter the possible meal selections for the coming weeks into the system. Parents will log in, place orders for their children, and pay instantly via a secure online checkout.

You are then able to extract selections from the system in a variety of formats, which can be passed onto your catering team.

It's that simple!

Why should we use it?

A few of the many advantages of using Cloud Meals are:

Time saving - meal selections can be exported from the system in seconds, saving hours of manually entering orders into word documents or spreadsheets
Reduced paper work - do away with outdated paper based systems, which are hassle for both the school and parents
Online payments - by taking payment instantly online, you can be sure of receiving payment for the orders, and you won't have to deal with any cash or cheques

What's good about it?

Safe and Secure

Our number one priority at Cloud Meals is security.

Using their web browser, both parents and schools access the system via the HTTPS protocol, with all communications running through an SSL certificate.

All the data in the system is stored on servers located in a secure data centre, sitting behind a WatchGuard Firebox firewall.
Easy to use

Cloud Meals has been specifically designed to make it as simple to use as possible, for both parents and schools.

With only a few clicks, parents can place multiple weeks of orders for several children, while schools can easily retrieve the selections to pass onto their catering team.
Available anytime, anywhere

By storing all your data in the cloud, Cloud Meals can be securely accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.

For parents, this means allowing them to order their children’s meals when and where it’s convenient for them. For schools, it means being able to administer the system from any workstation, and removes the need for any arduous paperwork.
Customised to you

For parents using your system, they will want to be reassured they are working with something their child’s school has approved.

That’s why with Cloud Meals, they will see your school’s badge displayed prominently in the header, along with the schools contact details and any other information you wish to provide the parents with.
In-house data management

The best person to administer your data is you, and that’s why with Cloud Meals the school is in complete control of the data behind the system.

Using our easy to use CMS (content management system), you will be able to securely manage pupil data, meal descriptions, holiday dates, and much more.

Our system also caters for eligibility of free schools meals.
Help with the move

At Cloud Meals we understand that moving from one way of doing things to another can be tricky, and that’s why we will work closely with you to help ease the process of migrating to our system.

We have various tools in place to help with this, for example, a method of integrating the system with SIMS for easy retrieval of pupil data.
