Cash at the school canteen means long queues, lost coins and parents who have no idea what their child eats. A cashless canteen fixes that — but only if it handles money correctly and keeps children safe.
Wallets, accounted properly
Parents top up a student wallet. In Zyntra School that money is recorded as customer deposits, not income, until it's spent — which is how your accountant will want it.
A fast counter
The counter is tablet-friendly: search by name or card, check the family's limits, add items and sell. Each sale is an invoice with item-level prices and tax, paid from the wallet.
Limits parents control
Guardians can, from the portal:
- Top up online
- Set a daily limit
- Ban items or groups of items
- See every purchase
- Get an optional e-mail when the wallet is low
The server rejects any purchase above the wallet balance, above the daily limit, or for a banned item — so the rules hold even on a busy morning.
Allergies where they matter
The nurse's health file records allergies with severity. Severe allergies display in red to staff who need them — including canteen cashiers. Health data otherwise stays separate from the general student file and needs its own permission.
Leftover balances
At the end of the year, or when a child leaves, a leftover balance can move to a sibling's wallet or be refunded, with the reason recorded.
Reports
Sales by day and item, and funds held for families — the figure your accountant needs at year-end.
Before you switch
- Choose your payment gateway for online top-ups.
- Set default daily limits.
- Make sure severe allergies are recorded by the nurse.
- Train cashiers on the tablet counter.
What parents see
From the portal, a parent can see the wallet balance, every purchase with the item and time, the daily limit they set and the items they've banned. If the balance runs low, an optional e-mail tells them before the child reaches the counter.
