Please note that these are not a substitute for the Terms & Conditions. Please ensure that you are familiar with the terms and conditions before signing up for this service.
Can we choose the Food Supplier?
When you joined ezlunch, you selected the school that your family members attended. Each school has one or more suppliers attached to it, and you will only see the menu from that supplier(s) displayed for ordering. Any menu item that you can see is available to be ordered. Different schools may have different menus because they have different suppliers serving them.
What days is it available?
This may vary by school. Please check with the school office.
Why does my friend’s school have a different menu?
Different schools may have different menus because they have different suppliers serving them.
When do I need to order?
The order cutoff is 9.00am. Orders must be completed and confirmed before 9.00am for delivery on that day. You may order in advance.
How do I know that the order has been received?
You will receive an order confirmation displayed on your screen that will confirm that the order has gone through and will be delivered. You will also receive a confirmation email. To check your orders coming up, click on My Orders tab.
How far in advance can I order?
You can order within the current term. When you are asked to select the delivery date, you will see what days are available for orders.
How do I change my order?
You may change your order at any time up to 9.00am on the day of delivery. To do this, login to ezlunch, click on My Orders and select Change or Cancel. Orders can not be changed after 9.00am on the day of delivery.
What is the cut off time for orders and changes?
9.00am on the day of delivery.
How do I cancel an order?
You may cancel your order at any time up to 9.00am on the day of delivery. To do this, login to ezlunch, click on My Orders and select Cancel next to the relevant order. Orders can not be cancelled after 9.00am on the day of delivery.
What happens if I cancel an order after the cutoff time?
The system will not allow you to cancel an order after 9.00am on the day of delivery. It will be delivered as usual. You may wish to arrange an alternative person to pick it up if your child will not be available.
How do I pay?
You will be asked to maintain an ezlunch account, from which payments will be deducted. If the account does not have sufficient funds, you will be asked to top it up using credit card, debit card or by account transfer. Please note that there is a minimum top up amount of $20 for credit card and debit card. If you choose to top up by account transfer, please be aware that this can take up to two (2) days to reach your ezlunch account, and the funds may not be there in time to allow this order to proceed.
Why do I need to use an ezlunch account to pay?
This is the best way for us to keep your costs down and ensure that there are minimal delays in using the service. You have a choice of credit card, debit card and bank transfer for keeping your ezlunch account balance at a level that suits your family.
Can I close my ezlunch account?
You may close your account at any time by emailing a request to enquiry@ezlunch.co.nz. You will need to include your member number, email used for login, and the balance of your account, along with the bank account you would like the money refunded into. This request will be actioned within two weeks and we will email you to confirm. We will deduct a $5 administration fee for this, unless your kids have left the school.
My kids have left school, how do I get my money out of my ezlunch account?
You may apply to have your ezlunch account closed and the money transferred to your bank account. Applications must be received at enquiry@ezlunch.co.nz by 10 January and the money will be refunded by the end of January. Please include your member number, email used for login, and the balance of your account, along with the bank account you would like the money refunded into.

How do I make a complaint?
We try very hard to make this service as good as it can possibly be, so if you have a complaint or comment to make, please let us know at feedback@ezlunch.co.nz.
