How to Order
Welcome to Online Ordering with TinyFEAST!
You are able to log in to the system at any time to make your order. If you have multiple children, you can order for them all at the same time and tthen pay with your credit card only once. With our system, you never have to worry about lost lunch money or poor nutritional choices as you get the final say as to what your child eats everyday. However, we highly recommend that you sit down with your child so they can learn to make better nutritional choices.
Our online ordering system is very easy to use. It has a simple calendar format which is very natural and intuitive to use. You can also sync your order calendar to popular calendars like Google, Outlook and others to keep on top of what you ordered and when you need to reorder! See instructions below.
Returning Students: Please do not start a new account as duplicate accounts from the same user may cause confusion.
Simply update / edit the new grade and teacher under the Student Tab (Action > Edit). Once edited you can click or tap Approve my settings so you can go ahead and use the account again for the new year.
You can also change the email you use to login (under account settings) if you prefer to go with a different one. Reach out by email if you need assistance with any of this.

Ordering Your Meals
- Select the “Order” tab.
- Select your student from the drop down menu (top right of screen).
- At the top right of the page, click or tap on the > button to get you to the month you will be ordering for. You can order right up until 48 hours (2 days) before the delivery date. So if you want to order for Monday for example, the order would have to be in the system before 11:49pm the previous Friday night. Once the menu disappears you can not order as the system locks orders and readies them for download by the schools cafeteria managers.
- Select meals by clicking the item you want. A complete description will show in a pop-up window. Add desired items to the cart. The Entrée you selected will turn green, indicating it is in your cart. You may also click the white down arrow next to the add to cart button and select, Add All Similar to add all the same items to your cart. Helpful if you plan on ordering the same item for every single day. To add multiple items at the same time, hold down the ‘shift’ key while clicking on menu options. This will add all the options you click to your cart at the same time. When you are done ordering, click ‘checkout’. Here, you can review your order and your total. Next, click ‘pay now’.
- After making your selections, click the “shopping cart” button at the top of the page, or “review order” at the bottom.
- When you are done ordering, click ‘checkout’. Here, you can review your order and your total. Next, click ‘pay now’.
- Review your order. To change your order, click the “Change” or “clear cart”. If your order is correct click “Pay Now”. After you click Pay Now, you will be sent to a secure checkout page, where you will finish your transaction by entering your credit card information.
- After you have completed your order, please view your “history” tab to verify your order has been placed correctly. You can also use the history tab as a record of which days you have already ordered for. If you make any mistakes, you can easily credit back a meal you’ve ordered and apply it to your next order. It’s more empowering to be able to do this yourself, rather than having to contact us to cancel an order. However, if the order is already locked in and no longer showing, you will have to contact the cafeteria manager before 9am of the delivery day to cancel. Their contact information can be found on your TinyFeast account login page.
So now how do you remember what you ordered? There are a few options available:
- Order confirmation email. Get a list of all the meals in your order.
- History page. Look up your orders in either calendar format or as a list. Use it as a reference, or print it out and hang it on the fridge.
- Calendar subscription URL. Use your favorite calendaring program (iCal, Outlook, Google Calendar), and subscribe to your student’s unique calendar feed. You already use your calendar to remind you of everything else, why not have it also remind you what your student is having for lunch today?
Canceling Meals:
Go to the “Order” tab to cancel an order. Click on the ordered item (appears in WHITE) to cancel/credit your purchase. From there choose Cancel with Credit. The credit will be immediately applied to your account and the item removed from your history tab. You can now immediately use the credit towards your next purchase. Note that if your purchase amount is the same or less than the credit on your account, you will automatically bypass the payment page in the shopping cart.
If the order cycle has passed and is no longer showing on the menu you will have to contact the cafeteria manager at the school. If it's for the same day you will have to contact the cafeteria manager BEFORE 9am. You can find the contact information for your school on your account page after you login. All credits can be used against future purchases. PLEASE NOTE: You can cancel multiple days at once if you know how long your child will be absent which will save you from calling in everyday.
