Cafeteria Point of Sale (POS) System

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 8:49:59 EDT

Edgar Middle School has begun using a computerized POS (point of sale) system in the school cafeteria. Instead of paying cash for your child�s lunch or snacks, you may now deposit checks into your child�s debit account! Just like EZ Pass on the NJ Turnpike, this system reduces time-consuming cash transactions, and will make our lunch lines move much faster. Note that while �good old fashioned cash� will still be accepted in the cafeteria, our hope is that many parents will appreciate the ease and convenience of pre-paying for their child�s lunch. For your additional convenience, NOT IMMEDIATELY, but in the near future we will have a new internet-based payment system, which allows you the option of paying for your child�s lunch on-line, via credit card. This service also allows you to receive automated emails detailing your child�s account balance, which items they purchased for lunch, and if their balance is low. Think about it�no more lost lunch money�no more forgotten lunch money�no more �losing the change� to the $10 or $20 bill�your prepaid funds will be held safely in trust by the school until they are used to purchase healthy meals in our cafeteria.

If you would like to put money on account for your child, please make checks payable to Metuchen Board of Education Cafeteria Fund. The payment will be posted to your child�s account. Payments will be accepted in as large or small a $ amount as you feel is convenient for you.
