Reply to a parent who asks why there is a meal charge next to "free" hours

The problem

Parents who hear "30 free hours" and then see a meal charge on the invoice can feel misled, and the phone call can be tense. AI can turn your charging policy into a calm reply that explains what is free, what is optional and what the alternatives are. You and the parent decide the answer for their child. It does not discuss any child's health, allergies or needs.

What AI does

AI turns your charging policy and the alternative you offer into a calm, friendly answer for a family asking about a meal charge. It gives no legal advice and includes no child's details.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Read the parent's message and your policy, and decide what you will offer.
2. Replace names with placeholders.
3. Have AI draft a short, calm reply and offer a call.
4. If the parent is unhappy with the invoice, follow your complaints procedure.
