How do I create a group lunch order?

Creating a group lunch order takes less than 60 seconds. Simply create a free account, select or add a restaurant, then share the unique order link with your team via Slack, email, or any messaging app. Everyone can add their own meal selections without needing to create an account.

Do I need to download an app to use LunchLink?

No app download required! LunchLink is a web-based group lunch ordering platform that works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. Participants can join and place their orders directly from the shared link without installing anything or creating accounts.

Can I order from any restaurant with LunchLink?

Absolutely! LunchLink works with any restaurant - local favorites, chains, food trucks, or catering services. Simply add the restaurant and its menu items to your account. You can save menus for future orders, making it easy to reorder from your team's favorite lunch spots. Perfect for office lunch ordering from any vendor.

Payments & Billing

How do group lunch payments work in LunchLink?

LunchLink integrates with Stripe for secure payment collection. As the order organizer, you connect your own Stripe account (free to set up). When participants add their meal selections, they pay immediately via credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The money goes directly to your Stripe account - no chasing Venmo requests or collecting cash!

Is setting up Stripe required to use LunchLink?

No, Stripe integration is completely optional. If you prefer to handle payments separately (cash, Venmo, etc.), you can use LunchLink purely as a group order collection tool. Participants can still add their selections to the shared order - you'll just handle payment collection yourself outside the app.

Is LunchLink secure for online payments?

Yes, payments are handled securely through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. LunchLink never stores credit card numbers or sensitive payment data. All transactions are encrypted and processed directly through Stripe's secure infrastructure.

Using LunchLink

How many people can join a group lunch order?

There's no limit! Whether you're organizing lunch for a small team of 5 or a large department of 100+, LunchLink scales to handle any group size. It's perfect for team meal planning at any scale, from small startups to large corporate offices.

How do I share the lunch order with my team?

Each order gets a unique shareable link. Copy it and post it wherever your team communicates - Slack channels, Microsoft Teams, email, WhatsApp, or text message. Anyone with the link can view the menu and add their order. No sign-up required for participants!

How do I get a summary of all the orders?

LunchLink automatically generates a consolidated order summary grouped by menu item. This makes it easy to call in the order or submit it online. You can see exactly how many of each item were ordered, with any special notes or modifications. Copy the summary with one click!

Can participants add special requests or dietary notes?

Yes! Each participant can add notes to their order items for customizations, allergies, or dietary requirements. Notes like "no onions," "gluten-free," or "extra sauce" are captured with each item and appear in the final order summary, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.

Can I see what others have ordered?

Participants can see the list of who has already added their order and their payment status. The organizer has full visibility into all orders, items selected, and payment status. This transparency helps everyone know the order status without having to ask around.
