Lunchtime in a school or university canteen means hundreds of customers in a short window. School canteen kiosks let students order and pay themselves, cutting queues and freeing catering staff to serve food.
Benefits for education catering
- Shorter queues – several kiosks take orders at once.
- Cashless payments – integrate with card payments and student accounts.
- ID card support – MSR and RFID readers available on HiStone kiosks can read student or staff cards (software dependent).
- Pre-ordering – order ahead, collect at the counter.
- Allergen information – clear on-screen allergen and nutrition details.
- Data – better insight into what sells and when.
