Everything your
Food Studies Department
needs, in one place

Back of House Schools brings professional kitchen thinking to the classroom — schedule lessons, manage recipes, coordinate ordering, ingredient preparation and organise catering events, all from a single elegant platform.

What's included

Built for how schools
actually work

Designed for Food Studies, Hospitality and Home Economics departments to save their valuable time.
Not a generic kitchen software retooled for schools.

📅
Class Scheduling
Build a full timetable with line structures applied across a term, semester or year in one click. Filter by teacher or room. Supports both standard and Week A / Week B timetables.
🛒
Ordering & Preparation
Auto-generate ingredient lists for the week ahead, scaled to your exact class sizes. Split into one or two orders per week, export to your supplier, and print preparation sheets.
📖
Recipe Cookbooks
Store recipes with per-serve scaling and link them directly to lessons so ordering calculates automatically. Build and share your department's recipe library.
🥜
Dietary & Allergy Tracking
Record student numbers, group sizes and specific dietary requirements per class. Allergy flags surface clearly on the schedule so nothing is missed in a practical lesson.
☕
Coffee Order Events
QR-code driven coffee ordering for parent nights and events. Live order board, per-event numbering, remake flagging and a branded ordering page — all in real time.
🎪
Event Catering
Plan menus for functions with auto-scaled quantities. Duplicate last year's events in a click — most schools repeat their catering year on year, organised term by term.
🔄
Term Management
Start a new term, semester or year and archive old classes in seconds — teachers, rooms and lines stay in place. Past terms are saved as snapshots you can revisit any time.
🗓️
Automatic Term Dates
Official term dates for every Australian state and territory built in. Start a new year and the calendar fills correctly with one click. International schools fully supported too.
🏫
Multi-School & Secure
Each school gets a completely isolated environment — staff only ever see their own school's data. Invite staff via secure links with role-based access. No IT involvement needed.
Your data, protected

Built with school
data safety in mind

Schools trust us with their information — we take that seriously.

🔒
School-isolated
Every school's data is completely separated. Staff at one school can never see another school's classes, recipes or students. Access is controlled by secure, role-based logins.
💾
Backed up & recoverable
Your setup is stored securely in the cloud and backed up. If something ever goes wrong, your school's data can be restored — your work is never lost on a whim.
🛡️
No Personal Student Information
The app holds no personal student data — no names, contact details or records. You track class numbers and dietary needs only, so there's no sensitive student information to manage or worry about.

Free pilot programme

Join the founding schools

Back of House Schools was built by a teacher who lived the weekly scramble of scheduling, ordering and prep — and wanted something better. We're now running a free pilot with a small group of secondary schools to shape the platform together.

Free for all pilot schools · Simple per-school pricing after launch · No lock-in
