There is a quick and easy way for schools to ensure dinner money provided by parents is spent wisely. Many schools and academies are adopting cashless payment systems, where by each student has an individual electronic payment card that they use to purchase their school meals. Parents load the card with funds, eliminating the need for pupils to carry cash. The card can only be used to purchase meals on school premises, "this ensures lunch money is actually used to buy lunch, and keeps the pupils on site during lunch breaks", says Gary Heath of G2IS. "The system allows parents to limit daily spend allowance and provide allergy alerts, giving them greater control over their child's diet".
G2IS have invested significantly within their back end management system creating a more user friendly cashless payment solution. Purchasing patterns and stock control management systems add to an efficient catering operation. Creating a system that is simple, clean and efficient to use for both schools and pupils. With the requirement to provide a healthy diet being met the issue will soon turn to how schools enforce this. Maybe cashless payment systems are the answer?
