ScholarChip - K12 - Student Transactions

The ScholarChip® Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal provides an effective means of automating cafeteria services and integrating them securely with both the ScholarChip One Smart Card solution and the ScholarChip Tier I Inventory Management System.

The Point-of-Sale terminal is a sleek touch screen device capable of reading the ScholarChip Smart Card, creating cafeteria transactions and automatically transmitting them to the data center for inventory management and account control. Our POS application interfaces seamlessly with our payment gateway, allowing the automatic replenishment of student purses through a web interface. We provide extensive reporting for both inventory and caloric counts for students. POS identifies important conditions, such as allergies, at the terminal and thus helps eliminate any potential problems due to improper dispensation of certain foods.

In a K-12 Environment
There is no visible difference between regular and FRL students thus eliminating any stigma associated with the use of FRL funds for the students.
