    Purchasing

    No more needing to carry cash, check your balance at the counter, or worry about how to pay—we’ll take care of it for you through your paycheck. All staff meal accounts use payroll deduction which is a quicker, easier, and more secure way to pay.

    To purchase meals in our cafeterias, staff will need to: 

    • Sign a form allowing us to deduct meal purchases directly from your paycheck.
    • Know your Bethel ID number when going through the lunch line—just like our students do each day.
