Cashless Canteen System is a cost effective solution for schools, colleges or anywhere with a catering function requiring cashless payment. Account balances are held on a central PC which allows cards to be blocked instantly in the event of any loss or damage to the cards. Adding funds to the cards is done in real time so for example cash added is available for use at the POS straight away. The system can be used with magnetic and smart cards. It’s easy to implement, easy to use, secure and cost effective.
