How to order and pay for your child’s school meals
You can manage your child’s school meals using Dolce’s parent portal, called SchoolGrid. This easy- to-use system allows you to:
- pre-order meals
- pay securely by card
- view menus
- directly input vital allergen information
When you child starts school with us you will receive an email from Dolce with
detailed instructions explaining how to set up your account. All parents must activate a SchoolGrid account to enable their child to receive a school dinner.
Pre-ordering Meals
To reduce waste and help to ensure your child receives their preferred choice, please pre-order meals before 8:55am on the day. You can also pre-order for the entire term in advance.
Online Card Payments
A card payment can be made online through your SchoolGrid account by selecting ‘Pay by card’
Telephone Card Payment
Dolce’s Customer Care team is available 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday to take a card
payment on 01942 707709. The minimum payment amount they can accept over the phone is £10.
Allergies or Dietary Requirements
It is essential that you record your child’s allergies on your SchoolGrid portal account so Dolce can provide a safe meal.
If your child has an allergy outside the standard 14 allergens, or any additional dietary needs (such as vegan or halal), please contact Dolce Customer Care and they will assist you in updating this information for your child’s account.
If your child has a special diet or care plan, please speak to the school. Dolce’s Area Manager will then work closely with yourself and the school to ensure your child’s needs are safely met.
