Who this template is for

School Lunch Order is built for schools, tutors and course providers who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place.

  • Schools, tutors and course providers working in education & schools.
  • Teams who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing consent forms chased on paper the week before term with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are students, parents and staff — the form asks them 12 questions across 1 screen.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of consent forms chased on paper the week before term and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Questions about this shared form

Can one form cover several children?

One order per child is clearer, because allergy details and class differ. Parents can submit twice in under a minute.

Does it take payment?

It records the payment method. If you want to charge online, add a payment step with your menu prices.

How is this different from a general order form?

It is built around a school week, with per-day choices, allergies beside the order and free-meal entitlement in the same screen.

What about children who bring a packed lunch some days?

Each day has a packed-lunch option, which is why per-day choices work better than one weekly selection.
