Canteen POS
Overview
The Compass Canteen point-of-sale (POS) system works within the Canteen module and allows for school users to create and pay for orders on a simple touch-screen terminal. Similar to our Compass KioskLite devices, the POS integrates schools towards a paperless and cashless Canteen system.
Making an Order
Your school's canteen menu will appear on the homepage of the POS. For information on managing menus, please refer to the 'Canteen Administration' article from our Knowledge Base.
From here, Canteen staff can select the items being purchased. They will then appear in a list-form to the right of the screen.
When all items being purchased have been added to the order, the Canteen staff will click the green 'pay' icon in the bottom-right of the screen. This will take them through to the POS payment page.
Note: If you need to adjust the order, there is a 'start over' button in the top left of the screen.Paying for an Order
When the Canteen staff member has selected 'Pay' for the order, they will be taken through to the POS payment page.
At this point, the Canteen staff would have the person purchasing the items tap their Compass ID card on the terminal. This will then use the purchaser's Compass Balance to pay for the items.
For information on how staff can view/top up their Compass Balance, please refer to the 'Canteen' article from our Knowledge Base. For information on how student accounts can be topped up, please refer to the 'Student Canteen Orders' article.
If the purchaser does not have their ID card on them, the Canteen staff member can look them up by using the 'Search for a purchaser' option.
The POS Unit
The Canteen POS unit is a similar compact size to the KioskLite device, designed for use with the Compass Canteen module.
If you would like any more information on the Canteen module or POS device, or you would like a quote issued to have a terminal at your school, please contact Compass Support via email to support@compass.edu.au for further assistance.
