Meal Management

School meals should be easy to manage, easy for parents to order and easy to deliver.

More Than
Just Meal Choices

School meals are about more than food. Behind every meal are dietary requirements, eligibility checks, kitchen information and communication that help schools deliver a smooth experience for staff, parents and catering teams.

Whether managing allergens, free school meals or daily meal orders, everything is kept together in one place.

Built Around The
Way Schools Serve Meals

Every school manages meals differently. Some allow parents to order in advance, some collect choices in the classroom, and many use a combination of both.

Rather than asking schools to adapt to software, iAntz adapts to the way schools work, bringing ordering, dietary information and reporting together in one simple experience.

Frequently asked questions

Can parents order school meals online?

Yes. Parents can order school meals online, select meal choices and manage payments through iAntz. Schools can choose whether meals are ordered in advance by parents, selected in the classroom by staff, or managed through a combination of both approaches.

Can iAntz help reduce food waste and improve meal planning?

Yes. By providing accurate meal ordering, dietary information and kitchen reporting, iAntz helps schools and catering teams gain better visibility of expected meal numbers. This supports more informed meal planning, reduces unnecessary administration and helps catering teams prepare with greater confidence.

How does iAntz help manage dietary requirements and allergies?

iAntz uses information stored within the Child Care Profile to help manage dietary requirements and allergies throughout the meal management process. Important information is automatically available when meals are booked, selected and served, helping catering teams make informed decisions while reducing the need for manual checks. This information is shared across the platform through a single child profile, helping ensure records remain accurate and up to date.

How does iAntz manage FSM and UIFSM eligibility?

iAntz helps schools manage both Free School Meal (FSM) and Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM) eligibility. FSM eligibility can be synchronised from the school's MIS, while UIFSM eligibility can be automatically applied based on a child's year group. This helps schools ensure eligible pupils receive the meals they are entitled to while reducing administration and maintaining accurate records.

Does iAntz provide reports for kitchen and catering teams?

Yes. iAntz includes a range of kitchen and catering reports that have been developed alongside schools to help ensure they meet real-world operational needs. Catering teams can access meal numbers, dietary information, class-based reporting and other key information, helping reduce administration and improve visibility across the school meal service.
