Snack Screens You Can Create in Your Onespot App

Simple examples to inspire how you present snack info to families

There are different ways schools are setting up snack screens in their app. These can be used individually or combined, depending on how you want parents to navigate.

1. Classroom-Based Snack Navigation (Button Layout)

What it looks like:

• A clean list of large buttons (Birch, Elderberry, Fireweed, etc.)
• Each button links to a specific classroom’s snack calendar

Why schools use this:

• Quick and easy for parents to find their child’s class
• Keeps things organized by classroom
• Very simple, mobile-friendly experience

Best for:

• Schools with multiple classrooms and different snack schedules

2. Live Snack Calendar (Google Calendar Integration)

What it looks like:

• A scrolling list of snacks by date (Today, Tomorrow, etc.)
• Automatically updates from Google Calendar
• Includes search for quick lookup

Why schools use this:

• No manual updates needed in the app
• Real-time changes show instantly to families
• Easy for staff to manage in one place

Best for:

• Schools already using Google Calendar
• Snack menus that change often

3. Snack Menu + Ordering (All-in-One Screen)

What it looks like:

• Menu details (vendors, pricing, dietary notes)
• Visual calendar or schedule (weekly/monthly)
• A button like “Click Here to Order”

Why schools use this:

• Combines information + action in one place
• Parents can review the menu and order right away
• Great for reducing questions and back-and-forth

Best for:

• Paid snack or lunch programs
• Schools collecting orders regularly

How Schools Typically Combine These

• Buttons → Calendar: Parents select a classroom, then view that class’s snack schedule
• Menu + Order: One screen that shows everything and lets parents take action
