User Reviews for SchoolCafé

Easy and Convenient!

School Cafe can be associated with an email address so that you receive an email when your child’s balance is low. What’s low? It’s up to you! I receive an email when my child’s balance is below $10. Additionally, when you pay, they have preset payments you can choose from, or you can add your own. As both my husband and I work, it’s great to know that I don’t have to physically go to my child’s school and pay at the front office or in the cafeteria just so she can eat. School cafe is easy and convenient!

Holding Menus Hostage for Students’ PII

This app takes information that should be easily and publicly available, and hides it behind a password wall. To access school menus at all, you have to create a password protected account. And you can’t save your kids’ school to your ID - no, they don’t need parent statistics. If you want your school as the default, you have to give the your children’s school ID number, which gives SC access to all your children’s personal identifying information. (Otherwise, you have to wade through ridiculously long dropdown menus that constantly reset unless you do them in a precise order.)We should not have to pay ransom with our children’s personal information just to view menus that should be readily available to any school parent. This flagrant consumer data collection app is disgusting, and I hate that my school district has been suckered into using it.

Upgrade from paper!!

So much more efficient than writing out checks to the school all the time! Plus you can see all the extra snacks your kiddos purchase, like ice cream ect.... And you can even control what they can purchase and when! Like, only allowing them to get a dessert like cookies on Fridays, for example. Plus, you can set a low balance alert to send you a notification when their balance is low. So no more phone calls or notices in their back packs that only tell you after the account is already negative! Love it!

Fast, Easy & Secure

This app makes knowing your child will always have money on their account for breakfast or lunch a breeze, no more worry or hassle to ensure they are always fed, with the app feature to set low limit balance alerts at the dollar amount of your choice, with the selection of limiting which items they are allowed, allowed occasionally and are restricted from purchasing without you having to be there, you are also able to ensure healthy choices are being enforced even while not in your care, if you so choose to use these features it’s all an extra bonus to the ease of the app in adding funds to your child’s or children’s account lunch balances, snack balances and so forth, definitely worth downloading, no more sending your child with money to school for breakfast or lunch and no more wondering if they ate lunch or breakfast at all that day, with the app keeping record of where and what the money was spent on, water-drinks-food tray- chips- snacks, I love the app by far!

Easy Peasy!

This app is so easy to use. It allows face recognition for easy sign in. The main dashboard is concise and clear with pics of my kids. Easy to set email alerts when their balance is low, and link my card of choice to easily refill their accounts with two clicks. Their accounts are refilled almost instantaneously, and I receive an email confirmation immediately. Extremely user-friendly and convenient.

Quick and Easy

With all the craziness in life it’s easy to forget to do certain things, this App has made things a lot easier. I get an alert whenever my daughters account has reached a certain amount of funds and can easily add more without any hassle or confusion. The only down side for me is that I’m not able to use multiple cards for payment. It gives you the option to add more then 1 card but it won’t let me choose between cards, it only ever shows one and won’t let me enter a new one because it says it’s already in the system.

Convenient and customizable!

I have two children and I can add different amounts of money to each of their cafeteria accounts since I have one child who eats at school everyday and one child who mostly takes a lunch from home and doesn’t need much money. I was also able to transfer the money from the one who didn’t use the cafeteria at all last year to the other’s account. I also appreciate the customization options where I can place limits on how much my child can spend on “extra” snacks and things and I can see what she buys every day. I’m very glad our school district is using this app!

Easy and convenient

I’m a working mother and this app makes things suuuper easy to add funds for each of the kids and I can even fill out the application on there too. That way my kids don’t risk losing cash while taking it to school and I can save time by making trips to the school when everything is accessible through the app. I wish though that the paperwork can be able to convert to PDF or be able to be sent a copy through email for records. Thank you!

Convenient for Parents

Very easy to use. I like the use of an App rather than having to go to a website or even worse, sending a check in with your child. I also like it that I can see the purchase history. I once found out that my son was buying lunch for his friends, not cool. I put the squash on that really quick by setting purchase limits on his account. (Though, I also found out that the school was allowing him to buy extra meals anyway (not an App issue), so I had to contact them to talk to the lunch staff, to make sure they were abiding by the parents’ requests. Make sure when you choose your purchase limits through the App, that the school staff is actually following your requests!)

One fix away from amazing

I enjoy the ease of using this app. The Touch ID allows me to log in easily and quickly add money to my child’s account with my pre-saved credit card information. The reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because I have three children in school and the $100 limit means I have to add money more often than I’d like. Someone with one child can add $100 to the account but with three children I can’t add more than $33 to their account at a time. It would make more sense to set a max per child.
