Cashless EPoS
CHIPS offers a new-generation cashless catering and vending system for primary and secondary schools and has been developed in partnership with the UK's most forward thinking academies, secondary schools, local authorities and contract catering companies. CHIPS is now widely accepted as the most advanced and flexible system currently available that, for the first time, brings the latest state of the art cashless technology developed for the commercial sector to schools at affordable prices.
- Smart card or Biometric: CHIPS supports all forms of identification in any combiunation so schools using biometrics could also use smart cards for visitors. If you would like to find out more about the pros and cons of biometrics versus smart cards please feel free to download our advice document....."biometric or smart card".
- Multiple purses and free meals: As well as multiple financial e-purses, CHIPS provides a flexible, secure and discrete free meal management system that can be configured so the funds are only available at certain times of day and on certain products to ensure the pupil gets a hot, nutritious meal.
- Reward Schemes: CHIPS supports any number of different reward points schemes allowing the school to target specific issues such as attendance in the canteen or heathy eating.

"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.
