Our solution for the primary phase is designed to help schools manage Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) and account for the Pupil Premium investment. With simple and efficient meal pre-order functionality, it provides parents visibility of their child’s meal choices. Stakeholder reports can easily be generated, allowing you to make informed decisions about where to allocate future spend.

Our cashless catering solution for secondary schools and academies reduces the amount of cash in school, speeding up serving times and minimising the delays associated with cash transactions. It also encourages students to purchase food from the school caterers, reducing the risk of them making unhealthy eating choices by spending cash elsewhere. As each student uses the same method of payment, any stigma attached to recipients of Free School Meals (FSM) is eliminated. The solution allows for menu scheduling, meal deals, allergy alerts, pre-ordering and kiosks, alongside comprehensive stock management, forecasting and reporting.

Alongside realising the cost and efficiency benefits of our primary and secondary solutions, MATs are able to take advantage of enhanced reporting and centralised menu schedules. Products and prices can be controlled centrally, and stock can be managed at a MAT or individual academy level.

For colleges and universities, our solution combines our cashless catering, ID Management and EPOS expertise to provide an integrated payment solution for today’s students. Automated biometric permissions, allergy alerts, meal deals and menu scheduling/rotation speed up your institution’s meal service, and with comprehensive ID management, your students can use their ID for door access, print management, libraries, photocopying, e-registration, vending and lockers.

Designed in conjunction with some of the UK’s top catering managers, our cashless solution allows local authorities, caterers and ICT providers to manage provision across all of the schools in their estate. The system can be tailored to meet each school’s specific demographic, school meal numbers and student and staff needs. School operational data in terms of FSM, UIFSM, subsidised and cash-paying sales can be accessed and reported on quickly and efficiently at multiple levels, significantly reducing administration.
