Lunch Orders - Change to ordering App
KingWill Catering has changed their ordering platform, from QKR! to My School Connect. The new app has enhanced allergy notifications, ability to place orders for more than 2 weeks in advance, and for us to reschedule orders in the system if parents inform us their child is away or sick.
My School Connect is also an app/online ordering platform, it's easy to use, has a great customer support team and works for both smartphones and Android. Please see attached information on how to download the app, how to get started/register your child/children and place orders before your school's first day of lunches.
As we are all very aware these days, nearly all businesses pass onto their customers, credit card fees. In the interests of transparency, up until this year, we have always absorbed these costs, but unfortunately we are no longer able to do this. You will see the charge of 33c/child in My School Connect when you place an order. At the start of each year, our suppliers review and adjust their prices, and so we need to adjust ours too. However at this this stage of the year, we are not going to do this, to reflect the change in credit card processing fee for our customers.
We look forward to feeding your children yummy school lunches this year!
Thanks in advance,
