Canteen Management System, meal management system.
A biometric-based canteen management system in Kenya or a cafeteria management system is where biometric hardware (Hand punch, Face reader, or Fingerprint System) is installed at the canteen or cafeteria. This biometric or proximity-based meal management system also uses RFID cards for canteen and cafeteria clocking.
The authorized staff will be required to key in his/her pin to the clock, use a proximity or RFID card, and place his/her hand or fingerprint/card on the biometric device. Once authenticated, the data will be sent to a linked PC nearby with a receipt printer and a meal ticket will be printed immediately in a split second. The printed receipt will submit itself to the chef for the meal.
The biometric Canteen management system process will generate various reports of the staff canteen attendance for cafeteria management and the number of meals taken per day or at the end of the period. A staff member can be allowed a maximum of a (definable) number of times. The option of staff having to choose what meal to take will attract additional hardware, in this case, a touch screen. All meals available will be displayed on the POS touchscreen. A staff member will get to select the meal (which could be multiple). After the scan of his/her hand on the biometric device the selected items/meals will be printed on the meal coupon
Managing the cafeteria menu, meal management, canteen attendance, and menu consumption is less challenging. Automated canteen management software is necessary for avoiding queues by quick and easy transactions at the canteens and cafeterias. Using biometric canteen management or an RFID card canteen management solution, cafeteria meal management becomes easy
