LINQ Solution - ONLINE ORDERING & K12 PAYMENT CENTER

Dealing with your children’s School Lunch needs and lunch money is super easy. You can add money to our child’s meal account, set-up balance alerts, transfer funds, and see their cafeteria purchase history all securely online from your computer, tablet or smartphone! 

• MAC Food Service will not increase meal costs at the start of this school year.
  • • However, school milk is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and more expensive. Therefore, milk as a stand-alone purchase will cost $0.40.

• • • Please remind your scholars that one milk comes with each meal purchased. A student who takes a milk from the cooler without first paying the cashier will be reported to the office.
• Once again, charged meals will be capped at a negative balance of -$18.00. All meals after this point is reached will need to paid for with cash at the time of purchase.
• If your scholar has any special dietary needs, please email [email protected]
• The free meal program covers one breakfast and one lunch per day. Any second meals or other a la carte purchases must be paid at the time of service.
  
  

• With the LINQ Solution, the chances of lunch money getting lost or stolen significantly decreases and you save time not having to come in and make meal payments in the cafeteria.
• You can even set up reoccurring payments, set up low balance notifications, and transfer funds. It will also save your payment history and receipts so you can refer back at any time.
• You will have access to your child’s account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• The system has the ability to also provide other nutritional information that we will develop over time.

 
How Do You Get Started? It’s simple!

Great News! Dealing with your children’s lunch money is super easy. You can add money to your child’s meal account, transfer funds, and see their cafeteria purchase history all securely online from your computer, tablet or smartphone!

MAC Food Service is utilizing a new system and parent portal where you can pay for meals and a la carte items (LINQ Connect). We are no longer using the old system and you are now unable to make payments with your old account.

With LINQ Connect, the chances of lunch money getting lost or stolen significantly decreases and you save time not having to come in and make meal payments in the cafeteria. You can even set up re-occurring payments, set up low balance notifications, and transfer funds. It will also save your payment history and receipts so you can refer back at any time. You will have access to your child’s account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Student ID number
• First Name: As registered with the school
• Last Name: As registered with the school
• Date of Birth (MM/DD/YYYY)

Once you create your account and add your students, you will have access to your student’s meal account balance and cafeteria purchase history for FREE! When making meal account payment there is a small convenience fee per transaction (not per child) to cover credit card processing.
