Background

School lunch rooms are a bedlam of commotion when kids are released from class for lunch. It's a challenge to keep the checkout line as short as possible.

We were charged with coming up with a solution to help cafeteria workers at the point of sale. We actually came up with a package that assists with any type of fee based school program (ie. lunch, pictures, year books, extracurricular sports, band & drill team excursions, etc.)

This new system is hammered with hundreds of transactions per cashier per hour supporting school lunch programs.




  • Schools set up customizable fee based programs, maintaining about 21 configuration tables.

  • Families create depository accounts at school for their students to draw from.

  • Different rates apply to different patrons (ie. Federal free and reduced lunch programs).

  • Cachiers receive payments and deposits, quickly record transactions via point & click that update depository accounts and cash drawers.
