To Order

  1. Go to
  2. Choose “Yes, we already use lunch works”
  3. Choose “Log In”
  4. Choose “United States”>”Northeast”>”New Jersey”>”The Cornerstone”
  5. Note:When setting up your child’s profile, it will ask you to specify your child’s school/grade/teacher. The teacher list is incomplete/inaccurate; however, please simply select from the drop down menu any “teacher” that shows the correct school (and grade level if possible). The actual teacher name is unimportant as the children eat lunch in the lunch room.
  6. View the menu and select items for each child/day by adding them to your cart.
  7. To complete the order, be sure to “check out” and print your children’s lunch coupons.

You can also access ordering via Click the “Lunch Works” icon, which will bring you to the Log In screen.

Important Things to Keep in Mind:

  1. Any questions about food ingredients/allergies should be directed to The Cornerstone (NOT the PTO)
  2. Parents are responsible for knowing about Field Trips when ordering lunch
  3. There is a $1.25 fee per transaction. This means that a single transaction fee ($1.25)will apply whether you order lunch for all of your children for theentire month, or 1 child for 1 day. Therefore, it is most economical to order for all of your children by the month. You may choose not to pre-order and to make a walk-in cash purchase instead; however, to discourage a large walk-in cash business, and to be fair to those who have ordered ahead, walk-ins will also be charged a $1.25 surcharge for entrees. (The fee will not apply for walk-in cash purchases of beverage or snack items.) Children who pre-order will be given priority, so walk-ins are not guaranteed their first choice of lunch options.

We hope that you find the ordering process easy, and we hope your children enjoy their lunches from The Cornerstone. Thank you.
