Instant Cashless
Fidelity’s cashless catering system is a cost effective solution for schools & colleges or anywhere with a catering function requiring cashless payment. Account balances are held on a central PC which allows cards to be blocked instantly in the event of any loss or damage to the cards. Adding funds to the cards is done in real time so for example cash added by a revaluer is available for use at the POS straight away. The system can be used with magnetic & smart cards as well as biometrics.
Free school meals are handled together with the facility to warn operators for such things as nut allergies.
This information is stored directly against the details of the user. The system utilises an industry standard SQL database for both the POS and the back office functions. In addition, the back office has built in mail merge facility’s for contacting customers. These can either be by letter, email or text message.
The PC based POS terminal uses Fidelity’s GPoS touch screen software. GPoS uses graphical images for the products as well as descriptions.
The product buttons are infinitely variable in size enabling the system to be fully customised for each customer giving unlimited functionality.
The optional wall mounted revaluer is a robust heavy duty unit which links directly back to the central PC. The unit has the facility for a user to see their account balance at any time without actually loading money onto the card. The valuer reports back to the PC all card enquiry’s plus all card top ups.
Account balances can also be credited on the back office software, by using ParentPay or at the POS terminal. The system can handle both cashless and cash payments during the same transaction if required and also copes with the Vat element of staff meals.
