For the Meal Plan Office

Meet BalanceU HQ.

The admin console where meal plan offices run the whole program — eligibility, plans, commerce, and operations — with real-time control, cloud flexibility, and a UI that makes it feel simple.

01 · Eligibility

Automate eligibility & restrictions.

Populations built directly from your SIS / ERP. Eligibility, restriction, and lifecycle rules bind to the populations — no spreadsheets, no scripts.

02 · Plans

Build your meal plans yourself.

Complex plans built in the UI — buckets, schedules, pricing, populations tied together. We dare say you might have fun doing it.

03 · Commerce

Configure commerce in one place.

Merchants, locations (tied to your GIS or other source), items, and terminals — all configured from BalanceU. Beta

04 · Operations

Dashboards & quick actions.

Custom dashboards and one-tap actions — refund, sweep, freeze, deactivate — surface the information you need a click away.

Theming

Finally a system that feels like U.

Create your university theme once — and have it apply across your entire ecosystem.
