What happens, step by step

1. 1 From Dashboard, open Lunch Forms → Meal settings → Daily limits.
2. 2 Enter Most meals a student can have per day, or clear it for no default limit.
3. 3 Choose Save and review the saved allowance and any notice about students already over it.
4. 4 Check existing date rules: a matching rule takes precedence over the default.

Frequently asked questions

Is one order always one meal?

No. The allowance counts servings. A quantity-two order uses two meals of the allowance.

Will lowering the limit cancel existing orders?

No. The saved notice identifies students already over the limit; their orders remain.
