Last session, East Ayrshire Council introduced a new Cashless Catering system in our school.
Catering Services recognised that it was time to update their cashless payment system. They researched and engaged with companies to find a system that is straightforward and easy for you to use. They have also ensured that the system utilises the latest technology available.
The new ordering system will therefore make the process quicker for your child at lunchtime and by ordering in advance will help Catering Services reach climate change targets by reducing food waste.
All meals will be ordered by parents through ParentPay, using your existing ParentPay login. If you are a new parent, ParentPay account details will be shared with you soon.
The system is easy to use. You will log in to ParentPay and select school meals. Then all you have to do is check the menus, select a meal for your child, then they collect it at lunchtime as normal.
Meals must be ordered by 8am and can be ordered up to three weeks in advance. Please ensure your child’s lunch is ordered before returning to school on Wednesday 20th August.
The link below will take you to an instructional video on how to book school meals.

Additional allergen and dietary information:
The system has improved allergy and dietary management, so you can be confident that special dietary requirements are observed. Make sure this information is up to date by contacting us.
If you have provided current dietary information for your child, this will be updated on the new system and will block any meal choices that contain approved allergens.
The system is also a useful information tool for parents and carers in displaying allergen information linked to each online menu item this includes all information for pupils following religious and lifestyle diets.
