School Lunches

The dining hall uses biometrics, so you can add money onto your child's account which is stored against their fingerprint data or pin number.

Students simply choose their food and scan their finger to pay so they never have to worry about forgetting their dinner money again. 

Taylor Shaw is the company chosen by your school to provide the meal service. They specialise in providing catering to schools and colleges across the country.

The system we use incorporates the latest technology and eliminates the need for money to be sent in with students and allows top up payments to be made directly utilising the school’s current internet payment system. Parents will also be able to see what has been purchased via the on-line payment system. As it will be a biometric system which recognises the thumb/finger of the student at the revaluation pay points and at the tills. There will be a daily ‘spend limit’ programmed into the system of £4.00 though this can be increased or decreased to a value set by parents for their child.
