Lunchonline is becoming Ezlunch

A smoother lunch experience for schools, suppliers, and families - starting Term 1, 2026.

Lunchonline services are moving to Ezlunch, part of the Kindo family.
The goal is simple: less admin, clearer ordering, and a better experience for everyone involved.

Nothing changes for the rest of 2025.
And we’re taking care of the transition, end to end.

Why Ezlunch?

Ezlunch is a modern school lunch ordering platform already used by hundreds of schools across Aotearoa.

It brings together:

• Simple online ordering for families
• Easy menu and order management for suppliers
• Reduced admin and optional fundraising for schools

All backed by Kindo’s trusted payments and support infrastructure.

What stays the same

No surprises here:

• Schools keep their existing lunch providers
• Suppliers prepare and deliver lunches as usual
• Families order lunches for the same schools

The change is the platform running behind the scenes - designed to make things clearer, faster, and easier.

What’s changing (and when)

From Term 1, 2026, lunch services will run on the Ezlunch platform.

Between now and then:

• Nothing changes for the rest of the 2025 school year
• Setup work is handled by the Ezlunch team
• Training, logins, and support are provided before Term 1

By the time ordering opens, everything will be ready to go.

For Schools

Less admin. More clarity. Optional fundraising.

Schools using Ezlunch benefit from:

• Reduced administration around lunch orders and payments
• Clear visibility of suppliers, menus, and orders
• The option to fundraise (0% or 10%) at no extra workload
• A platform families already trust for school payments

We work directly with schools to ensure a smooth setup and clear communication with families.

👉 School-specific information and timelines will be shared directly with your school.

For Suppliers

Same service. Better tools.

If you’re a lunch supplier, here’s the headline:

• You’ll keep delivering lunches exactly as you do today
• Your menus, pricing, and images are set up for you
• Your margins are preserved
• Training and support are provided before Term 1

You’ll receive your login details, training material, and webinar invitation before you need to do anything.

👉 Supplier logins and training begin mid-December.

Ordering lunches, made simpler.

Ezlunch gives families:

• A clear, easy way to order lunches online
