NSFPcompliance.Zeropaperwork.
From automated subsidy applications and Sponsor-a-Meal to province-specific compliance reporting. Petit Lunch is the only platform built end-to-end for Canada's National School Food Program.
Schools never pay — not for setup, compliance reporting, or parent communication. Our revenue comes from a small transaction fee to food vendors and optional premium analytics for school boards. No hidden costs, no upsells, no student data monetization. Ever.
Zero setup or licensing fees for schools
Free NSFP compliance reporting & subsidy auto-apply
Free parent communication & translation tools
Revenue from vendor transaction fees, not school budgets
