A payment to the School will need to be made on this opened account to enable the system to accept payments for Canteen orders.
- Cash is removed from daily transactions as orders are prepaid on individual parent accounts e.g. for an ad hoc user then a $5 prepayment would ensure they could order a meal in those times of emergency
- As orders are prepaid, canteen staff will have less cash to count and account for on a daily basis thus giving them more spare time.
- Parents will know where their cash is being spent e.g. a $3 lunch is being spent on a Cheese and Salad roll and orange juice and not 3 packets of potato chips
- Children will not lose any cash
- The occasional theft of cash from children will be reduced as children will not need to take money to school
- Teachers will save time in not having to deal with children who have lost money
- Canteen Staff can print out a list of orders at start of day to see the days orders
- Increase in sales
- Orders prepaid
- a specific canteen menu for each day of the week
- update capabilites on the menu to add/delete items
- ability to maintain a list of valid users (parents/canteen staff/teachers) via userid
- access to Parents via a school allocated userid which then gives them the ability to
order a meal over the internet
- order entry for a one off meal request on any given day
- order entry for Repeat meal request i.e. the order will repeat
each week on the same day
- ability to make multiple orders for different days of the week and for each of the Parent's children
- access for Parents to delete Repeat or Daily orders entered
- maintenance of each userid's account balance with history and automatic updating on order entry and deletion
- account maintenance options to enable Canteen Staff to maintain Users accounts
- a record of each Parents Userid account balance
- provide an account balance history for orders and credits made for each account
- The school will need to be defined and setup. Use of the system requires an annual fee. For further information on Fees click here
for details.
- Once the annual fee is paid System Administration accounts are setup and your school will be configured for use within the system
- With the System Administration logon the School can then create their menu, prices and allocate userid's for parents to access the system
- Parents can then top up their accounts with money and begin to make orders

Once the system is up and running it is advisable to run it in a consistent manner.
The following is an example of a daily timetable :
- Allocate userid's at the time of opening accounts. When opening accounts for parents you should receive from the parent
a small credit payment on their account. This will ensure the parent can make orders immediately. However if access is only for the Noticeboard, then the account can have a zero balance.
- Each morning issue a cutoff for accepting new orders for that day and process the Repeat Orders.
- Print off all Daily orders for that day (Parent's accounts for these orders were debited at the time of order creation)
- Print off all Repeat orders for that day (Parent's accounts are not debited when a repeat order is created so you need to run the update account function when processing these orders)
- For repeat Orders where there is insufficient funds on the parent's account the order is still processed but there is screen, Check for Debit Balances where you can check for accounts in the red. It is then up to school's policy as to what will be done with the order e.g. make the order, contact parent or check with student etc
- Parents who enter Repeat Orders have to ensure they cancel any orders if their child is not at school (e.g. sick or on holiday)
