iLunch helps friends, neighbors, and family take turns bringing meals and giving rides when someone needs backup. Start a free meal train—some folks call it a food train—in seconds.
iLunch is a free meal and ride coordination tool—not a restaurant, caterer, food delivery service, or transportation provider. Friends and family provide the meals or rides; iLunch keeps the schedule organized.
Give new parents a few weeks of dinners while they find their rhythm.
Coordinate meals and, when needed, a separate ride schedule for follow-up appointments.
Offer steady, low-pressure support after a loss, during treatment, or through another life change.
iLunch is a free web app for organizing meal trains, ride trains, and kids carpools. You set up a schedule for someone going through a big life moment, share a link, and friends and family claim days to bring a meal or give a ride.
Yes. iLunch is free to use — no fees, no ads, and no paid tiers. Helpers spend money only on the food or gift cards they choose to give.
No. There are no accounts and no app to download. Everything runs on links: an admin link for the organizer, a setup link for the recipient, and a public link you share with helpers.
A meal train coordinates who brings dinner on which day. A ride train coordinates who drives someone to appointments — treatments, physical therapy, or regular check-ups. iLunch supports both.
No. iLunch (ilunch.com) is a free web app for organizing meal trains, ride trains, and kids carpools. It does not sell, cook, or deliver food and is not connected to any restaurant or lunch delivery business with a similar name. Friends and family provide the meals and rides; iLunch keeps the schedule.
Go to ilunch.com/start, enter who the meals are for, pick the dates, and add drop-off details and any allergies. You get a private link to text or email to friends and family; each helper opens it, claims an open day, and gets an automatic email reminder. It takes about two minutes and helpers don't need an account.
Yes. iLunch is free to use with no ads and no paid tiers, and it covers meal trains, ride trains, and kids carpools from one place. Each tool works a little differently, so our comparison pages list the features side by side as of the date we checked them.
Start a free ride train at ilunch.com/start-ride, list each follow-up appointment or therapy session with its date, time, and destination, and share the link. Drivers claim the rides they can cover and get a reminder with pickup details. You can run a meal train for the same person at the same time.
Start a carpool at ilunch.com/start-carpool, add the school or activity trips (repeating daily or on chosen weekdays), and note car-seat needs. Share one private link with trusted parents and caregivers; each one claims trips and gets automatic reminders. Addresses and kids' notes are shown only to the organizer and the assigned driver.
