With the federal government discontinuing meal waivers for the upcoming school year, most districts will be transitioning back to charging for meals. Horizon has tools that can speed up your lunch lines and minimize or eliminate cash handling, all while reducing workload, so you can focus on keeping students safe and healthy by serving tasty, nutritious meals quickly and efficiently.
MyPaymentsPlus
Parents love the convenience of online payments. And schools love that online payments reduce cash handling and increase participation.
With over 2 million registered users, MyPaymentsPlus offers a user-friendly and fully integrated system that allows parents to complete all school-related payments online. Used in conjunction with Horizon’s point-of-sale system, MPP lets parents see account balances, make payments, create low-balance reminders, and set up automatic payments. Parents can also view what their children have purchased in the cafeteria. With MyPaymentsPlus, your school will be able to cut paper usage, reduce workloads, and improve parent satisfaction.

The process of capturing free and reduced applications can be overwhelming. Parents need an easy way to apply that also reduces application errors for schools.

The system guides users through the application process step by step. It is fully mobile-responsive, allowing users to complete applications from their computer, smartphone, or tablet. Horizon’s Online Applications solution is proven to increase accuracy, reduce labor costs, and make the busy free and reduced season more manageable.
