Cafe Prepay at Columbus

This service is a website where you can pay for your son’s Columbus cafeteria expenses using your Visa, Master Card, Discover or American Express.  Participation in this service is voluntary; you may enroll at any time.

Café Prepay enables parents to keep track of their child’s account balance.  In addition, the website offers Automatic Replenish.  This is optimal for the student whose lunch spending varies greatly from day to day.  With automatic replenish, when the student’s account balance goes below a specified amount, another specified amount is then deposited into the student’s account via credit card.  Using “automatic replenish on low balance”, the student will never run out of money.  Conversely, your credit card will not be charged until the student’s balance goes below the specified dollar amount.

Café Prepay also enables you to view your son’s participation report, which means you can monitor your child’s spending and see exactly what he is eating each day (via the Participation Report link).

To get started, you will first enroll at cafeprepay.com.  You will be asked to enter your email address and a password, which will be used each time you log in.  Please note that a valid email address is required and that Café Prepay stores any necessary personal informational in a secure, offline database which is accessed only to process payments and send payment confirmations via email.
