SchoolBitez Point of Sale for School Cafeterias

The number one POS choice for schools running lunch sales in their cafeteria or school kitchen. Fast, fully integrated, and built for the pace of a school lunch line.

SchoolBitez Point of Sale system in a school cafeteria

Running a school cafeteria is a high-volume, fast-paced operation. Every lunch period, hundreds of students need to be served quickly and accurately. The right Point of Sale system makes the difference between a smooth-running kitchen and a backed-up lunch line that cuts into classroom time.

SchoolBitez POS was built from the ground up for school cafeterias. Unlike generic retail POS systems that require workarounds and custom configuration, SchoolBitez understands the unique needs of school food service: student accounts, barcode-based ID scanning, grab-and-go item tracking, and multi-station operations that need to stay in sync across your entire campus.

Built for the Speed of a School Lunch Line

Every feature is designed to reduce wait times, eliminate errors, and keep your cafeteria running at peak efficiency.

Student ID Barcode Scanning

Fully integrated barcode reader support lets cafeteria staff scan student ID cards to instantly pull up accounts and keep the lunch queue moving fast. No manual lookups, no delays.

Touchscreen-Optimized Item Selection

Powerful configuration options let you organize menu items for rapid touchscreen selection. Set up categories, favorites, and quick-access buttons so staff can ring up meals in seconds.

UPC Scanning for Grab-and-Go Items

Set up UPC barcodes on POS items and use the scanner to fast-scan grab-and-go items like snacks, drinks, and pre-packaged meals. Perfect for schools with self-service coolers and snack bars.

Zero Installation Required

Set up multiple POS stations without downloading or installing any software locally. SchoolBitez POS runs entirely in the browser, so any device with a screen and a barcode reader is ready to go.

Real-Time Balance Sync Across Stations

Student account balances synchronize automatically across all POS stations in real time. Whether a student tops up at Station 1 or makes a purchase at Station 3, every station sees the current balance instantly.

Flexible Configuration

Configure pricing, tax rules, item categories, and payment methods per station or per school. Support for cash, account balance, and card payments gives your cafeteria the flexibility it needs.

How It Works

1

Student Scans Their ID Card

The student presents their school ID card at the POS station. The integrated barcode reader scans the card and instantly pulls up the student's account, including their name, grade, account balance, and any dietary restrictions or free/reduced status.

2

Staff Selects or Scans Items

Cafeteria staff can tap menu items on the touchscreen for hot lunch selections, or use the barcode scanner to quickly ring up grab-and-go items like snacks, drinks, and pre-packaged meals using UPC codes.

3

Payment is Processed Instantly

The purchase is deducted from the student's account balance in real time. The updated balance syncs across all POS stations immediately, so every register has accurate data no matter where the student goes next.

Why Schools Choose SchoolBitez POS

No Software to Install or Maintain

SchoolBitez POS is fully browser-based. There is no software to download, install, or update on each station. Plug in a barcode reader, open the browser, and you are ready to serve. Add new stations in minutes, not hours.

Works with Your Existing Hardware

Use any tablet, laptop, or desktop with a browser. Pair it with any USB or Bluetooth barcode reader. No proprietary hardware requirements means lower costs and easier deployment across your campus.

Unified with Online Ordering

Unlike standalone POS systems, SchoolBitez POS is fully integrated with the online ordering platform. Pre-orders placed by parents through the app or website are reflected in your cafeteria reporting, and student balances stay in sync whether funds are added online or spent at the register.
