Go Digital With Your School’s Tuckshop
Running a successful tuckshop requires a streamlined approach for ultimate efficiency. While the menu is a crucial part of your school’s canteen, it’s also important to consider the program you’ll use to keep the whole operation organised and running smoothly. Taking your tuckshop online eliminates some of the challenges that are often associated with running a school canteen.

Challenges of running a tuckshop
One of the biggest challenges schools face in their tuckshop is efficiency. This includes accepting payments and making meals, all the way down to counting cash at the end of the day. Eliminating the multi-faceted aspects of a tuckshop and hosting everything on one easy to use app can make the whole process much more seamless.
Schools may also struggle with tuckshop usage. While long queues can create a hold up in the canteen, some schools are forced to deal with the opposite — not having enough interest from students and families.
The good news is, a cashless system can eliminate the lines by providing a tap-solution for payments at the register, making lunch service more efficient and students can use their student ID cards to buy their food.
The benefits of going cashless
A cashless system like My School Tuckshop can help get your school up to speed and eliminate the stress of running a tuckshop. Our POS equipment works seamlessly and requires no internet — just simply sync at the end of each day.
By scanning a student’s ID, you are able to quickly access allergies, dietary restrictions, daily spend limits and more. Students and staff will no longer need to worry about handling and counting cash in your school’s tuck shop and purchases can easily be charged directly to the student’s account.
