Case study

Live at a 3,000 student independent high school

Students pay at the canteen with a contactless card. The school tracks every vendor's sales from one dashboard.

"Recess used to be one long queue. Now students tap their card and go, and parents can see exactly what their children eat. Our canteen vendors get their sales reports without anyone counting cash."

FAQ

Questions schools ask

Read the guide: Cashless canteens in Malaysian schools.

Can students pay without a phone?+

Yes. Students pay with their student card or a face scan at the POS.

How do parents top up?+

Through the e wallet in the parent mobile app.

Does it work with several canteen vendors?+

Yes. The dashboard shows sales for each vendor, whether there is one stall or many.

What happens when a student loses a card?+

The school administrator blocks the lost card in the system straight away, so it stops working at the gate, canteen and library. A replacement card is then issued and linked to the same student record. The e wallet balance sits in the student's account, not on the card, so it is not lost with the card.

How much does it cost?+

It depends on student numbers and the hardware you need. Ask for a Smart Canteen quote.
