ParentPay

Partner for daycare centers

Convenient digital management and billing of meal orders

Day-to-day work in daycare centers is demanding. Daycare center managers and employees have to wear many different hats. In addition to educational work, administrative tasks are taking up more and more space. ParentPay relieves you of time-consuming administrative tasks so that you can concentrate on the essentials.

It's that easy

Record presence

Parents can sign their children in or out on a daily basis via app or web, saving daycare center staff from having to deal with constantly ringing phones in the morning.

Submit meal figures

The required meals are sent to the kitchen digitally as a collective order – for the whole daycare center or by group. This allows you to spread the work over several shoulders.

Promoting sustainability

Food actually required based on daily reporting figures instead of blanket orders per facility reduces food waste.

How ParentPay simplifies your everyday life.

Explained in 90 seconds.

What we can do:

Give you more time for educational work

Convenient ordering

Instead of juggling phone calls, e-mails and lists, registrations and cancellations for meals are recorded digitally and brought together centrally. From there, the order can be sent to the kitchen quickly and easily. This creates more time, especially in the busy morning hours.

Flexible customization

Whether you, as the daycare center manager, manage the food ordering for the entire facility yourself or delegate the task to your group managers, with ParentPay you can adapt the role allocation in the system to your internal distribution of tasks.

Daily billing

In addition to collecting a monthly meal fee per child, ParentPay also enables daily billing. Providers or caterers can bill parents directly based on the actual number of meals required and also take into account entitlements for support services.

More relief

By digitizing attendance reporting and the transmission of meal orders, daycare managers have fewer administrative tasks to shoulder and can concentrate on more important issues.

Experience

We are passionate about our solutions. We let you feel the .

The introduction of the ParentPay payment system has simplified many things at our school. Cashless processing makes payment more hygienic and also faster. The addition of the ATM was a great relief. By inserting cash, students can easily top up their account.

Billing school meals in combination with subsidies from the education and participation package is a major challenge. Thanks to ParentPay’s managed service, we were able to outsource this process completely. ParentPay takes care of the entire billing, checks funding applications and ensures that all requirements are met. This not only saves us an enormous amount of time, but also ensures legal certainty and transparency.

Zweibrücken-Land Municipal Administration, Mr. Kilian

With ParentPay, we have not only optimized the payment and billing process, but also significantly improved our purchasing planning. As all food orders are processed centrally via the system, we know exactly what quantities are required. This helps us to avoid surpluses and make purchasing more efficient. The software is a real benefit, not only for billing, but also for our entire logistics.
