DineRite Lunch System

The DineRite System
The DineRite System works similar to a Debit Card system with all transactions being handled by computer. You may pay for lunches with cash, check, or credit card. This money is deposited to each child’s DineRite account for purchases in the cafeteria. As your child comes through the food line, the amount of his/her purchase is deducted by computer from their account. If you already have an existing account, you do not have to open a new account every school year. To our new families, we urge you to consider opening an account even if you plan on having your child bring a sack lunch. We have found through experience that emergencies arise, such as forgotten lunches, and instead of calling a parent at work the child can simply purchase a lunch with their already established account.

When the balance drops below $15.00, you will receive a notice in your child’s weekly school information folder. Checks ($40.00 minimum) should be made to “DineRite”. If you use your credit card, we will automatically activate a $50.00 charge when the DineRite account falls below $15.00. You will receive a notice sent home in the weekly folder advising you that your credit card has been billed. The computer system gives us full accountability to the parent and to the school. If you want a printout of your child’s food purchases for any month, please ask the cafeteria manager. You may go the cafeteria any time and view the purchase and deposits on the computer screen.

DineRite asks that each student have an account and not bring cash daily. Change is not readily available.

If you have any questions regarding the DineRite system, please feel free to call the cafeteria manager at (214) 331-5139 Ext. 31.
