"Having used other systems I can say that Chips is the fastest till system I have ever seen.  All the operators and the kids love the system because it has really cut down queuing time.  You can learn to work it in a matter of minutes and it's so easy to change things like add new products, change the prices or create a new layout"

Catering Manager, Philip Morant School, Colchester

WHY IS CHIPS SO FAST?

Firstly,  CHIPS uses a unique process to allow operators to enter the items into the till as the student approaches so all they have to do is place their card or finger on the reader and payment is processed in a few milliseconds.  This faste throughput allows you to have more staff serving food reducing queueing time and speeding up overall service.

Secondly, in most systems, if a card or finger fails to be indentified the system stops and you have to enter a name.  CHIPS takes a "best guess" and presents the till operator with the five closest matches to choose from removing any delay in service.
