We have been talking about different ideas and solutions for our Canteen for the last year. Presently, it is a volunteer run system, and adds an extra load to parents to put their hands up to help. People are busy and we want Canteen to be something that helps parents, not adds stress.
Several other Catholic schools in the area have recently started using an award-winning service called LunchFox. This allows you to order direct from Lunchfox, who connect the orders to local businesses and then gets them delivered direct to the school.
We are trialling this at our school for the rest of 2024 and are thrilled to kick that off as of this coming week, starting on Monday July 29th.
IMPORTANT INFO:
Canteen will continue to be available Mondays and Fridays.
You will NO LONGER order through QKR.
You will now order and pay through Lunchfox directly.
It is very easy to set up an account. Please follow the steps in the image attached.
If you have any concerns about how to use the app, please do so via Lunchfox directly: www.lunchfox.com.au
If you have challenges with your order or payment, please contact Lunchfox directly.
Orders close at MIDNIGHT the night before. (Allow push notifications for reminders.)
We have partnered with three local businesses for our trial. We are delighted to continue with Sushi Way and Deli on Waterloo on Mondays, and now add Nourished as an option for Fridays. The menus are available on the app directly. We are happy we are able to continue to support local businesses.
A very big and grateful thank you to all our Canteen volunteers to date. We literally couldn’t do it without you. An EXTRA special thank you to Debbie and Nicole, who have managed the Canteen and volunteers for several years. You have donated your time and energy and we are so appreciative!
We are excited to start this trial and hope it’s a hassle-free, handy solution for our Canteen and our families!
Thanks for your support!
LUNCHFOX SIGN UP INFO:
The LunchFox app is available to download now from the app stores. Create an account and set up profiles for every child you plan to order for. Search for ‘St Joseph’s Primary, Narrabeen’ in the school field and select your child’s classroom from the dropdown menu.
You will also see an option to add allergy and dietary information to your child’s profile. This will always be displayed against your child’s order, making the information clear and concise for the chefs preparing your meal.
All orders will be individually bagged and delivered to school in time for lunch. Menus are completely customisable: you have the option of ordering an entire lunchbox of food, or simply selecting one or two smaller snack items. Everything on the menu is nut free.
If your child is unwell, or you need to change the date of an order, you can do this up until the order cut off time. Simply tap on the order from the home screen and select a new date. The settings page on your app has links to contact the LunchFox team directly if you run into any problems.
