A Hands on Approach to Fresh Food
About Cater to You
Paying for Food at FORDHAM is Easier
Than Ever….
How it Works
We specialize in providing private schools
with fresh, quality, healthy meals from
sustainable and local resources. For over 25
years we’ve used our unique, hands-on
approach to deliver food service programs to
our network of over 18 schools.
At Fordham Preparatory School, paying for
students’ breakfast, lunch and snacks is easier
than ever. We have a cashless system
designed to give parents and students
flexibility in payment.
Register for Cashless Dining:
•
Go to www.payforit.net. Click on Create
New Guardian Account. Using the pull
down menu, find Fordham Preparatory
under “district” and fill in the rest of the
information. Be sure to use your name,
not the student’s.

Step 2 involves choosing your payment
method. You may utilize either credit
cards or checks. You can deposit funds
into your child’s account at any time,
Visa, MasterCard and electronic checks
are accepted. Note: there is a 4.75%
convenience fee for using credit cards.
For payment by e-check, there is a
service charge of $1.75 per transaction.

your name not the student’s). After you
press “Create Account” you will receive
an email and directions for activation.

student or students.

In our schools we prepare over 12,000 meals
daily for students ranging from preschool
children to high school seniors.
Meals are always created on-site, from
scratch, using the finest products. Our
commitment is to provide traceable, local
and sustainable meals with a focus on
seasonality.
Daily our skilled chefs prepare fresh meals
centered around high-quality hormone and
antibiotic-free proteins from plant and meat
sources, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats
and an abundance of colorful, seasonal
vegetables and fruits— creating a unique
and
individualized
dining
experience
reflective of each school’s community.
This option means that students do not have
to bring cash to school each day to make
purchases in the cafeteria, but instead, will
be able to pay using their FORDHAM ID card.
When you set up the account, you will be
able to set a minimum balance threshold for
automatic replenishment. Once the balance
drops below your threshold the system will
automatically fund the account with the
amount you have set ($50 minimum). You will
receive an email notification of this
transaction. In addition you will be able to
see how the money is being spent, not just by
amount, but exactly what the student is
buying as well.
There is no limit as to how many times a
student uses the card in one day, all that is
needed is a sufficient balance to afford the
purchases.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL STILL BE TAKING
CASH FOR PURCHASES. CATER TO YOU

TO FUND THE STUDENT ACCOUNT AS WELL.*
