Improve the experience for your students, with a solution that gets them enjoying your healthy meal options, quicker.
Civica Cashless technology has been helping schools and education providers improve their catering for more than 25 years. We can help schools and contract caterers navigate changing requirements and legislation and cut costs while still safeguarding students with allergies, reducing kitchen waste and improving planning.
With features like pre-ordering, menu scheduling and meal deals, you can give students and parents better visibility of their food choices. And thanks to comprehensive admin tools like forecasting and stock management, you can reduce waste and generate savings, allowing you to invest back into the changing needs of your institution.
We designed the software to suit a wide range of organisations. Whether you’re a local authority, an individual school, a multi-academy trust, contract caterer or a large university, you’ll manage your meal service and gain insights into how to keep improving.

Why choose Cashless catering?
- Speeds up mealtimes, with reduced queues and more transactions
- Minimises the risk of lost change or spending on unhealthy foods offsite
- Reduces the risk of bullying by levelling the playing field for Free School Meals
As an Academy group we are completely reliant upon our till system always working at optimum capacity. The system is very easy for the Till Operators to use and even easier for pupils. It is safe and reduces pupils’ risks from having to carry money into school every day. Our group of schools is growing rapidly and as we grow we will use cashless solutions in all new ventures without hesitation.
