School meal payments
Dinner money, pre-orders, Free School Meals and kitchen-ready reporting in the same parent app as clubs and trips. Built for UK schools — not a bolted-on till.
iAntz is the school payment app for meals: parents top up a wallet with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Open Banking or PayPoint cash. The kitchen sees who is eating, including dietary requirements and allergens. FSM children are treated the same at the point of service.
Pre-order or classroom select
Upload menus for parental pre-ordering, take classroom selection, book online, enter meals manually, or import from the MIS.
FSM without stigma
Free School Meal status is recognised from SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom and other MIS platforms so eligible children are identified automatically.
Allergens at staff fingertips
Dietary requirements and allergy tracking sit on the meal record — safeguarding for the kitchen and the office.
Kitchen-ready numbers
Accurate meal counts and report alerts so catering is not guessing from paper returns.
Cashless for secondaries
Till integration, card readers and biometric options through catering partners. Parents still have one wallet.
One wallet, not three apps
Meals sit with club bookings and trip payments. Parents do not learn a separate dinner-money login.
How school dinner money runs in iAntz
Office staff pick the meal method that matches the school, not the other way around. Attendance-based meal marks can import from SIMS or Scholar Pack. New pupils appear from the MIS so you are not re-keying dinner numbers every September.
AI sends payment reminders when balances run low. Outstanding dinner money is visible on the school dashboard instead of a chase list in a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
What is a school meal payment system?
A school meal payment system lets parents pay for dinners online, helps the kitchen know who is eating, and keeps Free School Meal children indistinguishable at the till. iAntz is the UK school payment app that runs meals alongside clubs and trips in one parent wallet.
Does iAntz support Free School Meals?
Yes. FSM status is recognised from your MIS so eligible children are identified automatically, with no stigma at the point of service. Dietary and allergy information stays with the meal record.
Can parents pre-order school dinners?
Schools can upload menus for parental pre-ordering, take classroom selection, book online, enter meals manually, or import from the MIS — including SIMS or Scholar Pack attendance-based meal marks.
Does it work for secondary cashless catering?
Yes. iAntz supports cashless till integration for secondary schools, plus card readers and biometric options through catering partners. Parents still top up one wallet.
