LunchBox
School Lunches!

A new, easier way to order your child's school lunch!
Our brand-new LunchBox School Lunches app is here!
Espresso Cafe is making school lunch ordering easier, faster and more convenient for families.
From Monday 26 October 2026, all school lunch orders will be placed through our new LunchBox School Lunches app, replacing our current website ordering system.
The app is available for both Apple iPhone and Android phones, and it's free to download.
Download the app today and set up your account before Monday!

Step 1 — Download the app
Download LunchBox School Lunches from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Step 2 — Create your account
Open the app and select Create Account.
Enter your details, including your email address and a password. If you've already registered, simply sign in.
Step 3 — Add your children
Go to the children section and add your child's details, including:
-
First and last name

School
-
Year level and class
If you have more than one child, you can add them all to the same account.
Please check that each child's school and class details are correct, so their lunch can be prepared and delivered to the right place.
Step 4 — Choose a lunch date
Select the day you would like to order lunch for.
You can order up to 5 days in advance, making it easy to organise lunches ahead of time.
Available ordering days depend on your child's school and class.
Step 5 — Select your child's lunch
Browse the menu, select your child's food and drinks, and choose any available options or extras.
Add the items to your cart and check that the correct child and lunch date have been selected.
Step 6 — Checkout
Review your order. Add another child's order here and follow the checkout instructions to confirm it.
Once submitted successfully, your order will be available to view in the app.
Step 7 — Reorder or manage your lunches
Need the same lunch again? Use the previous-order feature to quickly reorder a favourite.
If plans change, you can also view and cancel eligible orders directly through the app.
Important ordering times
Order cutoff: 8:30am
All orders must be placed by 8:30am on the day of lunch.
Cancellation and refund cutoff: 7:30am
You can cancel an order and receive a refund through the app up until 7:30am on the day of lunch.
