FOOD SERVICE UPDATES & REMINDERS
Since we are a month into the new school year and using our new School Cafe lunch system, we wanted to offer these updates that might be helpful to families.
NOTIFICATIONS: The screenshot nearby shows the Student Information Screen and you’ll notice there is a place there to set an ‘alert’ for low balances. If you had alerts in our old MySchoolBucks system, please be aware you will have to come set up brand new alerts in SchoolCafe and this is where that can occur. Please be aware that low balance emails go out twice per week and come from the email “no-reply@schoolcafe.com” so please make sure to check your spam or other areas in your email if these are not appearing in your inbox.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS: Automatic payment is designed for users who like to replenish their student's cafeteria account whenever the balance falls below a specified amount.
To set up an automatic payment:
Add a valid payment source to your account either through the Payment Info menu (in the 'Payment Sources' tab), or on the Automatic Payment pop-up itself in the expanded details of individuals on your Dashboard.
On the Automatic Payment pop-up, select the payment amount to be replenished, the payment threshold, and the payment source.
Add an expiration date for the setting that ends before the payment source expires.
BALANCES ARE TRANSFERRED: As of last week, all MySchoolBucks balances have transferred over to School Cafe.
PURPLE APP! SchoolCafe Family Hub is the PURPLE app when searching for the phone app or you can click on these links here for iOS/iPhone/iPad and Android.
