Utilise advanced point of sale services, meal pre-ordering and back-office analytics so you have absolute clarity over your meal provision. BlueRunner’s app is also designed for students, with the ability to add bespoke logos and colous to the app interface to reflect the required branding.
Revolutionise your school kitchen operation
Managing a catering service with multiple kitchens can be a logistical nightmare for caterers. Streamline the process with digital kitchen management – get paperless reporting, stock and staff management, recipes, deliveries and more, all from one fully centralised tablet-based solution.
ParentPay Group has long been at the forefront of the EdTech sector. Across the UK and mainland Europe, more than 30,000 schools and 8 million parents trust us on payments, communication meal and information management systems.
Acquiring Cypad in 2017 and BlueRunner in 2022 further solidified the Group’s meal and kitchen management offering. This extends existing meal management platforms with additional functionality for meal ordering in secondary schools as well as rewards, loyalty and catering booking for education and hospitality sector institutions.
