You will now have the option to pay directly through MunchaLunch. Munchalunch accepts:

• Visa or Mastercard credit cards

• Debit-credit cards

• Apple Pay

• Google Pay

• Pre-paid credit cards

When you make an online payment through MunchaLunch, your balance owing will be updated automatically and your order will be placed.

We will also continue to offer the following payment methods:

• Cash: We can only accept exact change. Please send cash in a sealed envelope or bag marked with your child's name and "Hot Lunch."

• Cheque: Cheques can be written to Binscarth School. Please write your child's name and "Hot Lunch" in the memo.

• e-Transfer: e-Transfers can be sent to binscarth@pwsd.ca. Please write your child's name and "Hot Lunch" in the message.

When you make a payment via cash, cheque, or e-Transfer, MunchaLunch will show your balance owing until the school receives and records your payment. This is not an automatic process - please allow up to 3 business days for your payment to be recorded. Once your payment is recorded, your order will be placed.

*Families participating in the Gambler Hot Lunch Program - please place your order and choose cash as the payment option. We will mark your order as paid and follow existing processes for collecting payment. 

When are orders due?

Orders will continue to be due on the last Friday of the preceding month.

Will parents get a refund if a child misses lunch?

If a paid lunch is missed due to a school closure or a school event (eg. Field Trip), a credit will be issued to your MunchaLunch account.

If a paid lunch is missed because your child is ill or otherwise away from school, you may make arrangements to have their lunch picked up by calling the school before 11:00am on the day of the absence. Otherwise, please consider it as a donation.

What if a parent forgets their password?

They can easily retrieve their password by clicking forgot password the Login page. It will be sent to the family account email address in less than 1 minute.

How do parents order for more than one child?

Once they have created the order for their first child they simply select “choose another child” and Munch will take them back to the beginning of the order system.

How do parents get a copy of their order?

The MunchaLunch system sends an automated email which includes a copy of the order. Parents can also login to their account anytime and re-print their order.

How do parents keep track of what they ordered for their kids?

In addition to being able to re-print their order (as described above) parents will ALSO receive an automated email lunch reminder, the day before each lunch day! This reminder lists their child’s specific food items ordered.

I have a question that wasn't answered here.
