Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a single account/ login for all of my children?
Yes you can have all of your children on the one single account, even if the children attend different schools (the schools must use the myevolvehub online system though). Just request an auth code from the schools office for them all.
Can another payer, such as partner, ex-partner, grandparent, order and pay for meals for my child?
Yes you can have additional payers with their own accounts linked to your child’s meal orders. Please contact school to arrange for another auth code for them.
There are items in my basket with a line through saying invalid, what does this mean?
If an item is saying that it’s invalid it is usually because you have missed the cut off time for ordering this meal. Our cut off time is 9am.
I want to cancel a meal, but I cannot see the cancel button. If the cancel button is not visible then you have missed the cut off time for cancelling the meal. Please check with the office what the cut off times are for cancelling meals.
