Emos-Infineer with 20 years experience has taken cashelss catering one step further and has introduced Biometric Identification for students using Fingerprints. With guaranteed faster throughput, cashless catering makes long queues at meal times are a thing of the past, making meal times a more positive experience for all students and staff.

 

As well as faster throughput, an Emos-Infineer Cashless Catering system delivers:

 

• Automates the allocation and reporting of free or subsidised meals

The Emos-Infineer solution controls the allocation of free meals and subsidies to students and staff so that benefits are not exploited.

• Removes the stigma of subsidised school meals

All cards are identical and the necessary information regarding free meals is encoded onto the chip, protecting that information from anyone other than the system administrator.

• Discourages Bullying

Parents may opt to pre-pay for their child’s meals at the beginning of the week, month or term so pupils need not carry cash to school, reducing the opportunities for bullying.

• Improves levels of customer satisfaction

Prepayment eliminates the need for cash at the point of sale tills and vending machines. Cashless catering means lunchtime queues are dramatically shortened, delivering happy customers with no hang-ups about cafeteria bottlenecks.

• Increases revenue

As service levels improve and the number of students using the cafeteria increases, catering and vending revenues also increase substantially. Good news for both schools and caterers.

 

There are also benefits specifically associated with Biometrics:

 

• Students not penalised for lost/stolen/damaged cards
• Antibullying tool
• Safest most secure technology available
• Can be integrated with existing cashless catering systems with little impact on existing infrastructure
