Lunch at BISB

Lunch at BISB consists of soup, a main meal, fruit, and salad. We also offer morning and afternoon snacks for children in the nursery and reception.

Little Chef canteen is using the web portal Biometric for choosing and canceling lunches. After we receive your lunch application, we will provide you with login details to our lunch system, where you can manage your lunch and snack orders.

Choosing is possible for the age group Year 2 and above. Nursery, Reception, and Year 1 have automatically preordered meal number 1 on the menu.

Paying for your lunch.

Parents pay for the lunches at the beginning of each term. The Little Chef team will issue an invoice for a number of days related to the term.

For example: Term 1 will have 70 days – an invoice will be issued for 70 lunches. If your child will only eat 40 lunches out of prepaid 70, the remaining money will be deducted from your invoice for the next term. If you decide that you don’t want to continue with lunches, it will be sent to your bank account.

Lunch subsidies

The lunch subsidies are available only if you apply via school. The subsidy amount represents lunches taken during the school term. Please note that the subsidy is only for lunches taken, not lunches that will be ordered and uneaten. The subsidies will always be deducted from the invoice at the end of each school term because the reimbursement is done retrospectively. This subsidy is mirroring the Slovak system as follows:

1, 40€ Reception
2, 10€ Students in Year 1 – Year 4
2, 30€ Student in Year 5 – Year 9

The condition that needs to be met is that the child participated in education and had lunch on that day at school (e.g. if a child is absent – this day cannot be counted in).

How It Works: Paying for Your Lunch

Parents pay for lunches at the beginning of each term. The Little Chef team will issue an invoice based on the number of school days in that term.

For example, if Term 1 includes 70 days, you will be invoiced for 70 lunches. If your child eats only 40 lunches, the unused portion will be deducted from the next term’s invoice. If you decide not to continue with lunches, the remaining balance will be refunded to your bank account.

Lunch Subsidies

Subsidies are available only if applied through the school. They cover lunches actually taken during the school term—not lunches ordered but uneaten.

Subsidies are reimbursed retrospectively and deducted from the invoice at the end of the term. They follow the Slovak national system:

  • €40 – Reception
  • €10 – Years 1 to 4
  • €30 – Years 5 to 9

Note: Subsidy applies only if the child is present and consumes lunch at school that day.
