Lunch Payment

Payment Options

  • All students pay for their lunch with a BC-issued ID card connected to their MyMealtime account.
  • BCHS does not accept payment at the point of sale nor give change.
  • Money can be deposited into the MyMealtime account via either of these 2 methods:

one

Deposit money online via MyMealTime
MyMealTime is a point-of-sale system in which your account can be “loaded” with money and used as needed to purchase food in the cafeteria at lunch and before and after school. We encourage you to use this system. It also tracks purchases and gives low-balance warnings.

What you can do with your online account

  • Track student purchases and receive low balance warnings
  • Apply for the free or reduced-price lunch (Details about the program)
  • Set additional controls on an individual basis for things such as diet restrictions or use of funds per the parent’s request.
  • Deposit money into the account online. There is a 4.9% user fee to deposit money online. You are not required to deposit money online to use the other features.


It is our expectation that students always have a positive balance in their lunch accounts. As a courtesy to our families, BCHS has established a “$9.30 overdraw limit” (the price of 2 regular lunch meals or 12 days of meals for reduced-price students). If your student’s account has a negative balance, parents will be contacted via email by the Cafeteria manager.
At no time will a student ever be denied lunch because of their account status. Students are still eligible to receive a “meal deal” (entree, vegetable, fruit, & milk). However, students must maintain a positive balance to purchase ala carte foods. Students will not be permitted at any time to overdraw or charge ala carte foods.

Students must reconcile all negative balances by the end of each school calendar year.

See the Cafeteria Handbook for end-of-the-year senior balances and other payment info.

Low Balance Notification: It is easy to set up a notification with Mealtime to receive an e-mail when the accounts are low. Negative lunch balance notifications by e-mail are sent out weekly.

Spending Limits: If a parent is concerned by the amount a student is spending, a spending limit can be added to the account by the cafeteria staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the cafeteria manager directly at 317-255-1451 ext. 2240 or e-mail mdlugosz@bishopchatard.org. We are happy to answer all inquiries.

Fraudulent Charges and Reporting
It is the responsibility of both the student and parents to protect the integrity of the account – including regular monitoring of funds.

Customer ID numbers, and student ID cards, are not to be shared with friends or other family members. Instances of potential fraud must be reported to BCHS immediately. Bishop Chatard High School Cafeteria is Not Responsible to void or refund any potential fraudulent charges if they are not reported within 3 days from the suspected occurrence.
