New Online Payment Vendor – August 2025
Effective 08/11/2025, we will be transitioning to a new online vendor for managing student lunch accounts. This change is being made to provide a more user-friendly experience and improved service.
What You Need to Know:
- All existing balances will be safely transferred to the new system. You will not lose any funds currently in your child’s lunch account.
- Action required: You will need to create a new account with our new vendor to access and manage your child’s lunch account moving forward.
Once our system is ready, you will receive an email with further instructions. Please follow the steps below to set up your new account once you receive your email:
Steps to Create Your New Account:
- Visit zest.schoolbitez.com
- Click on “Create Account” and follow the prompts.
- Enter the required information, including your child’s student ID number.
- Link your student(s) to your account.
- Add funds and set up optional automatic payments or low balance alerts.
Online Food Payment Plan
In conjunction with Zest Food Service, DeMatha offers an OPTIONAL on-line payment plan for food service that will allow you to monitor your son’s lunch time purchases, track what he has been eating for the past 30 days, make deposits directly into his meal account, and have an e-mail reminder sent to you when an account balance gets low.
There are 3 methods of payment to make deposits for the students’ debit account,
1) ACH payments requiring your checking account number and routing number
2) Major Credit Card or Debit Card
3) A check made payable to Zest Food Service.
All purchases must be made through the cafeteria plan, using the student ID.
As payments are made, each student’s account will be updated so that account balance information and payments will be readily available.
