Automation Meets Intelligent Flexibility

Stay accountable by preventing inventory loss, communicating critical updates, and keeping vendors and staff on schedule and on task. Automate menus, payments, communications, tasks, and reminders all in one web-based platform.

Enhance Workflows With POS and Accountability 

Offline POS

Offline-capable POS ensures the serving line stays operational and fast.

Compliance

Blind cash counts and reimbursement claims provide a clean audit trail.

Data-Driven KPIs

KPIs like Meals Per Labor Hour (MPLH) help districts optimize their cafeteria teams.

Keep Your Lines Moving Fast

Our web-based POS and Accountability suite simplifies school nutrition management with tools built for the real world.

Dynamic Menus

Integrated with Menu Planning and Production, the POS terminal tracks itemized menu components, instantly identifying reimbursable meals.

Student Look-up

Find students quickly and easily with identification methods such as pin entry, barcode scan, photo pop ups, alerts, and biometric identification.

Seamless Transactions

Efficiencies like bulk sale, classroom sale, and roster queues help speed up lunch lines by processing multiple transactions in a few clicks.

Menu Grid Designer

Customize button sizes and colors, then easily copy those layouts across the district for consistency and ease of operation.

Reconciliation

Handle service mistakes with the Bulk Adjustment feature. Perform "Blind Closes" to ensure cashier's integrity.

Reimbursement Claims

The system pools all necessary data into standard claims and even provides state-specific exports for direct import into state systems where available.

Eliminate Manual Errors

Task-Oriented Dashboards

Review End-of-Day task page to ensure there are no discrepancies, and reference End-of-Month view when preparing reimbursement claims.

Planned Entrees

Pull meals directly from Production Plans and display them as POS buttons, enabling itemized sales instead of using a generic “lunch meal” option.

Square Integration

Integrate with Square at our POS to process card payments and make checkout faster and easier for faculty and staff.
