Car Line Market
Ordering closes shortly before afternoon dismissal

The pickup line, running to a schedule.

Parents order ahead. Volunteers work the queue. Every order reaches a car during afternoon dismissal, without anybody leaving the line or handling cash at the kerb.

  1. 01 / Order

    A parent orders

    From their school's own list — snacks, drinks and school merchandise the volunteers have chosen, at prices the school sets.

  2. 02 / Prepare

    Volunteers make it up

    They work the queue on their own screen, in order, with the pass colour and the car to look for.

  3. 03 / Hand over

    It reaches the car

    Carried out to the window by a volunteer, or collected from a fixed spot — whichever the school runs.

Where the money goes

The school is the merchant of record.

Card payments settle directly into the school's own connected account rather than passing through us, and the school's name is what appears on a parent's card statement. Car Line Market never holds the school's money.

We charge the school a percentage of the pre-tax order total. Sales tax collected on an order is the state's money and is never part of what we charge on.

Who it is for

Parent groups raising funds, and the families already in the line.

A PTA, a PTO, an HSA, a booster club — whatever your school's parent group is called, it runs its own menu, its own prices and its own volunteers. Nothing here assumes a particular size of school or a particular way of running dismissal.

Car Line Market is pre-launch. It is being prepared with a single pilot school and is not yet generally available. There is nothing to sign up for on this page yet.
