What is Lunch Crew?
Lunch Crew is a family school-lunch planner that helps kids choose lunches ahead of time and helps parents organize the week, shopping, prep, packing, stars, and rewards in one place.
BETA FAQ
Lunch Crew questions, answered.
Lunch Crew is still in beta, so we want it to be easy to understand what it does, what it doesn't do, and what families can expect.
Is Lunch Crew free?
Lunch Crew is free during beta.
No credit card is required.
If that changes in the future, families will be told clearly before any charge is introduced.
Can I add more than one child?
Yes.
One Lunch Crew household can manage multiple children, each with their own lunch choices, packing status, stars, and rewards.
Do my kids need their own accounts?
No.
Parents manage the household account.
Kids can participate in choosing lunches and earning stars from a shared family phone, tablet, or computer without needing their own login.
Can I customize the foods?
Yes.
Parents control which foods are available to their family and can add household-specific foods that their kids already eat.
Lunch Crew starts with a useful food library so families don't have to build everything from scratch.
Does Lunch Crew help with grocery shopping and prep?
Yes.
Lunch Crew uses the week's planned lunches to help parents see what needs to be bought and what can be prepared ahead.
The goal is to move those decisions out of the school-morning rush.
Can I print the lunch plan?
Yes.
Lunch Crew includes a Weekly Overview and Daily Sheets for families who prefer having the plan on paper.
Does Lunch Crew work on phones, tablets, and computers?
Lunch Crew is designed to work across common modern phones, tablets, and desktop browsers.
What if one of my kids doesn't have school?
Parents can mark an individual child's day as No School.
That child's lunch is removed from the relevant packing, shopping, completion, and star calculations until the day is restored.
Can we change a lunch after it has been chosen?
Yes.
Current and future lunch plans can be updated when plans change.
Completed past days remain protected as part of the household's history.
How do stars work?
Kids can earn stars by completing their lunch choices, completing the weekly lunch quest, and popping celebration balloons.
Parents can also award bonus stars.
The Stars & Rewards page includes an earning guide so parents can set reward goals that make sense for their family.
How do rewards work?
Parents create the rewards and decide how many stars each reward costs.
Kids can work toward those goals and request a reward once they have earned enough stars.
Parents remain in control of the reward system.
Does Lunch Crew provide nutrition, allergy, or medical advice?
No.
Lunch Crew is a planning and organization tool.
Parents remain responsible for reviewing foods, dietary needs, allergy safety, school requirements, and any medical or nutritional considerations for their children.
Is my household information private?
Lunch Crew separates each household's planning data behind its own account and server-side authorization.
Our limited beta analytics are designed to measure how the product is being used without sending child names, lunch contents, reward names, or raw household identifiers to analytics.
Does Lunch Crew sell my family's lunch information?
Lunch Crew does not use your children's lunch choices as advertising data.

What happens after beta?
