Q:     Why can't I make a lunch charge to a staff person's account?
A: Staff Lunches
To charge a staff person for a lunch order, you will need to create a parent account that is linked to the staff account.
Step 1: Go to People then Staff
Step 2: Click on the staff person's name.
Step 3: Assign a parent account to be linked to the staff account by one of the two options listed below:
  • Option 1: If the staff person is a parent of a student (current or previously) at the school, then you will be able to find their name in the Parent ID drop down. Select their name and click the 'Change' button.
  • Option 2: If the staff person is NOT a parent of a student (current or previously) at the school OR you are unable to find their name in the drop down from Option 1, then click the 'Add to Parents database' button. Once you have clicked this button, the system will automatically create a parent account and link that account to this staff account all in one step.
Step 4: Once a parent account has been created/linked to the staff account, then you will be able to make finance charges to that parent account.
