F.A.Q (frequently asked questions)
What happens if my child forgot his/her lunch can I charge a lunch?
Yes, you can charge lunches up to a total of $20.00 after you have reached that total you will be turned away until the balance is cleared. Invoices are sent via email at the end of each school week. If you receive an invoice simply print it out attach payment to the invoice and leave it in the basket at the front office of your school. You will receive an email confirming payment with in the next week.
You can cancel lunch for your child if done 24 hours prior to service of the lunch. This must be done via email then a credit will be issued to your account. Credits work as walk-ins. If you purchased for the entire month then the credit will go towards the next month.
If you need to switch lunches you must email the needed switch and it can be done manually by our staff.
Do I have to order on the website using my Credit card?
We highly suggest that you use the website to do all your ordering. It keeps costs down to a minimal. With our program we can access each day’s list of who has ordered and properly control food and labor costs which is pass along to you. We will accept order’s with a check. All Checks must be made out to Blue Willo and please note any returned checks will have a returned check fee of the amount of original check plus a fee of $50.00
Other questions related to cancellations?
For school events scheduled on short notice, such as field trips or class outings, it is the parent's responsibility to cancel previously ordered lunches. Only credits will be issued for all cancellations (no payment refunds).
Order Deadlines
There are two order deadlines depending on your payment method for the order:
What is the deadline if I pay with Credit Card through our web site?
If you are using the website, you can submit the order by 9am three days before the lunch is to be served. For example, Thursday's lunch can be ordered by Monday at 9am. Keep in mind that a Monday lunch must be ordered the Friday before at 9am.
What is the deadline if I pay with Check?
Please make all checks out to Blue Willo not your school
If you opt to pay by check, then you must submit the order the one week before lunch is to be served by 9am. For example, if you are ordering for August 16 the order must be in the basket located at the schools front office by
Monday August 9th.
Though we try to accommodate all of our customer needs related to the Blue Willo Hot lunch Program, we must maintain these deadlines due to our purchasing and kitchen operation schedule. Thank you for your understanding!
