Order for the right student, every time.
School stores tag menus with allergens and dietary tags, the Schools workspace organizes grades, classrooms, and students, and guardians choose the right student at checkout, with a warning when an item conflicts with what that student can eat.
School ordering
What you can do

Tag school-store products with allergens and dietary tags.
Start from a weekly template

Guardians manage student profiles

Menus filtered with a conflict warning
The menu a student sees reflects their allergy and dietary tags, with a warning that lets the guardian keep or remove a conflicting item.

How it works
From setup to the next order.

Create the school as a business with the School vertical and organize its grades, classrooms, and students from the Schools workspace.

Good to know
- Allergy and dietary tags are ordering guidance set by the guardian, not a medical-safety guarantee; confirm a dietary requirement with the school or business directly.
- Guardians can add and edit a student's profile; the customer account has no option to delete one.
- School ordering is available only on Websites configured for it.
