Frequently Asked Questions:
Who has access to the “pay what you can” system?
The “pay what you can” system is available to all parents of students at schools served by the program, with no conditions and no proof required.
With each order, families choose how much they want to pay for each meal, starting at just 1 $.
No matter what amount you choose, La Cantine pour tous covers the difference up to the standard amount.
This is confidential: neither the catering member nor the school has access to this information. We use it solely for internal, anonymous statistical purposes.
If school staff order meals for themselves, they must pay the standard amount; the “pay what you can” system being reserved for children’s meals.
Do I have to commit for a certain period?
No, no commitment is required.

Whether you need a meal once in a while or every day, La Cantine dans les écoles is there to support you!
Are meals adapted to children's nutritional needs?
Yes! The recipes featured in the La Cantine dans les écoles program are approved by La Cantine pour tous, according to criteria established by nutritionists registered with the Ordre des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec, and based on Canada’s Food Guide.
What's in a meal?
Each meal includes a main course and a dessert.
No drinks are included.
Don't forget to put a water bottle and reusable utensils in your child's bag on days when you order a meal.
What if my child has allergies?
No need to worry. Our platform automatically blocks meals containing the most common allergens if you have indicated them in your child's profile.
For less common allergies, the complete list of ingredients is available in the details for each meal. It’s important to check each dish to make sure it’s suitable for your child.
When can I place an order?
The menus are posted online every two months and show you the meals available for the next two months.
At the start of the school year, and then each time new items are posted online, you will receive an email notifying you that orders are open if you have:
- created an account;
- created a beneficiary (your child's profile);
- agreed to receive communications related to the program.
What should I do if I don't receive the verification code to activate my account?
We are currently working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, we encourage you to add ne-pas-repondre@lacantinepourtous.org to your list of trusted senders.
