The Platform
Meal Management orders in, kitchen counts out
The kitchen needs a number they can cook from. Parents need a choice they can finish on a phone. Allergies cannot live in a folder in the office.
Parent order or classroom choice — diets travel with the child
Some schools let parents order in advance. Some take choices in the classroom. iAntz fits either — or both.
The meal process should not mean a second copy of the roll, typed in for catering.
What the kitchen actually needs
Dietary requirements and allergies follow the child through ordering and service.
Catering teams get counts and visibility. The office stops reconciling three lists at 9am.
A service that holds together
- Parent or classroom ordering, or both
- Allergies attached to the child, not a separate file
- Kitchen-ready numbers
- Fewer mealtime surprises
Dinner money and the kitchen on the same child
School meals fail when the kitchen, the office and the parent each hold a different list. iAntz meal management is parent ordering, classroom choice, or both — with dietary requirements on the child profile used at the servery, not in a folder catering never sees.
Dinner money is school payments, not a second product. Parents pay from the same wallet as clubs and trips. Free School Meal status can follow the MIS roll via Wonde, including SIMS, so eligible children are not a manual flag the office remembers to tick.
Caterers cooking for one school or many still need a number in time to cook. Catering teams get counts and diet visibility without the office re-typing the roll each morning. Where attendance-based meal marks are used, those can follow the MIS rather than a paper slip.
Meals sit with clubs, trips and live reporting. The kitchen is not waiting on last night’s file. The office is not reconciling three spreadsheets at 9am while service has already started.

Frequently asked questions
Can parents order school meals in the app?
Yes, where the school uses parent ordering. Schools that take choices in the classroom can do that instead — or both. The kitchen still gets a count it can cook from.
How are allergies handled at mealtime?
Dietary requirements sit on the child profile used for meals, clubs and trips. They are not a separate catering spreadsheet the office has to keep in sync.
Does meal management work with our MIS?
Pupil records sync via Wonde from SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom and other supported MIS platforms. Free School Meal status can follow the roll rather than a manual flag.
Is dinner money a separate system?
No. School meals use the same parent wallet and app as clubs and trips. Catering is not asked to run a second payments product.
