OUR CASHLESS PROCESS

ABOUT LUNCHCARD

A complete cashless management system called lunchcard is used in Southern African schools and universities. Students at participating schools receive a lunchcard with a photo ID that they can use to make purchases at the majority of the school’s amenities. After a student receives their lunchcard, the parent registers it on the lunchcard website.com. Once registered, the parent has access to a number of functions, including:

  • Deposit funds
  • Set dietary restrictions
  • View transaction history
  • View reports on purchases and other items
  • Set daily spend limits
  • Pre-order lunches from the tuckshop
  • Order school items
