What Our Chapters Say About Us
"Easy Meal Management for Our Entire Chapter"
The Tally Meals app has made managing our chapter dining so much easier! I can update my dietary preferences anytime directly in the app, and our chef sees the changes for the next meal. The late plate booking feature is a lifesaver when I'm stuck in late classes or study sessions. Being able to reserve extra plates when friends visit has made our chapter dinners more welcoming and social.
"Perfect for Busy Student Schedules"
As a student athlete with an unpredictable schedule, the Tally Meals app is essential. I can easily book late plates when practice runs over, and updating my meal preferences in the app ensures the chef knows about my dietary needs. The ability to reserve multiple plates when teammates join me for dinner has made our house meals more inclusive. The app makes meal planning effortless!
"Simple and User-Friendly Experience"
The Tally Meals app has streamlined everything about our chapter dining. I love how easy it is to update my allergies and food preferences right from my phone - no more having to remember to tell the chef every time. When my parents visited for Parents' Weekend, I simply selected a larger party size when booking our meal. The app takes care of all the details so we can focus on enjoying our time together.

We take dietary needs seriously! During onboarding, members provide detailed dietary information-including allergies, restrictions, and preferences like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more. Our clear labeling system ensures this information is highlighted on meal reports, so chefs can easily accommodate every need. The result? Safe, inclusive, and delicious meals for everyone-every time.
We know chapter sizes can change. That's why new members can easily join your meal program at any time by signing into the Tally Meals app using your chapter's unique Kitchen Code. Best of all, we don't charge per member-your rate stays the same, no matter how big your pledge class is.
Tally Meals is primarily a meal reservation and management platform-we do not directly provide kitchen staff. However, we partner with food service management companies and would be happy to connect you with a provider that fits your needs.
Very quickly. Once payment is processed, we'll have your account set up and ready to go within a couple of days. From there, just upload your menus and have members download the Tally Meals app-we'll handle the rest. Our team is here to support you every step of the way to ensure a smooth, fast launch.
