POS system for canteens and staff restaurants

Hardly anyone pays cash in the canteen: employees hold up their ID card, and billing is done later in one go. At the same time, the kitchen needs to know how many meals it will need tomorrow – and so does the caterer.

With the canteen ordering system from leafsystems, serving, pre-ordering and monthly billing run in one system: payment is by staff card, the menu plan is digital, and at the end of the month you pull customer reports and the DATEV export. We set this up for your canteen and support you on site in Südbaden and Switzerland.

In short: In a canteen, people pay with their staff card and everything is billed together at the end of the month. With the canteen ordering system from leafsystems, serving, pre-orders, menu planning and monthly billing run in one system.

01

What a canteen POS system should be able to do

Paying with a staff card

Every person has an ID as an NFC chip card or key fob. At the serving counter a quick tap is enough – no cash, no change.

Customer reports and DATEV export

Every booking is assigned to the employee ID. From this you create customer reports per person and hand everything over to accounting via DATEV export.

Pre-ordering from the workplace

Employees pre-order directly from their PC at work – or on the go via tablet and smartphone – for any days of the week and with a pick-up time.

Menu plan with the caterer

Weekly and daily plans are digital. The caterer enters the weekly plan themselves and sees the order lists for the period.

Less overproduction

Before delivery, a report shows how many meals are needed. Only what is actually available can be ordered – you can adjust the stock at any time.

Allergens and additives

Every dish is shown in the menu plan with a picture, allergens and additives. Employees see this as soon as they order.

02

How your canteen can work

Not every canteen needs everything. Most start the classic way: the staff at the serving counter book the meal, employees hold their card to the card reader. Guests without a card simply pay at the till.

If you want to plan quantities better, add Online pre-ordering : the order is printed with the pick-up time on the receipt printer, and on the kitchen display if you wish. In larger canteens employees check in with their ID at a check-in terminal , and the order appears directly in the kitchen. A self-order terminal where external guests can also order with an ID card or QR code is possible, but not a must.

  • Serving counter with card reader – the classic
  • Normal till for guests without a card
  • Online pre-ordering with pick-up time
  • Check-in terminal with employee ID
  • Optional: self-order terminal

03

Monthly billing without paperwork

At the end of the month you create customer reports – individually per employee or as a total – and hand the bookings over to your accounting via DATEV export. Nobody has to type up tally sheets or count cash.

You can also show the weekly menu on screens with Digital Signage – in the entrance or at the serving counter.

  • Customer reports per employee
  • DATEV export for accounting
  • Cashless process
  • Less accounting work

What does a POS system for a canteen cost?

That depends on how many employees eat, whether you pre-order, how many serving points and card readers you need and which reports you need for billing. We look at your canteen and make you a concrete offer. For a first overview of the POS software, see our POS system comparison.
