Who it's for

One system, four people it has to work for

Break time only runs smoothly when the student, the parent, the cafeteria team and the school office are all looking at the same thing.

Students

  • Tap the card, take the tray, go
  • Pre-order in the app before break
  • No cash to lose or forget

Parents

  • Top up the wallet from the app
  • Set a daily limit and block items
  • See every purchase, the same day

Cafeteria team

  • A till built for a 20-minute rush
  • Menu, prices and stock in one place
  • No till float, no end-of-day count

School office

  • Every canteen on one dashboard
  • Staff roles and permissions
  • Reports parents can be shown

What it does

Built around the twenty minutes that matter

Everything here exists to move a queue of hungry students without losing track of a single riyal or a single allergy.

Tap-to-pay student cards

Each student gets an RFID card linked to their profile. One tap at the till takes payment from their prepaid wallet — no cash, no PIN, no queue.

Parent wallet & app

Parents top up whenever they like and get a receipt the moment their child buys something.

Allergy & diet guard

Flag an allergy once and the till refuses that item for that student — every day, at every counter.

Spending limits

Daily caps and category rules, set by the parent and enforced by the till rather than by an argument.

Pre-order before break

Students order from the app in class time and collect at a pickup point instead of standing in line.

Menu & stock control

Plan the week's menu, set prices, and watch what runs out before the second break does.

Reports the office can act on

Daily takings, busiest counters, most-sold items and per-student history — ready for the school office and for any parent who asks.

Why schools choose Fosshati

Because break time is not a retail problem

A shop has all day. A school canteen has twenty minutes, a few hundred children and a duty of care. We built for that.

  • The queue actually moves

    A tap settles the whole basket in about two seconds. No change to count, no card machine to wait for.

  • No cash on campus

    Nothing to lose, drop or take from another child — and nothing for staff to reconcile after the bell.

  • Parents stop guessing

    Every purchase, balance and blocked item is in the app the same day, so the school stops fielding phone calls.

  • Support that knows term time

    On-site setup, staff training and a team that answers during the school day, not two days later.

Getting started

Cashless before the next term

We set the canteen up with you, train the staff on site, and stay on the line through the first week of service.

  1. 01

    Set up the canteen

    We load your menu and prices, add each counter, and give the cafeteria staff their own logins.

  2. 02

    Issue the student cards

    Each RFID card is linked to a student record, with their class, allergies and any rules the school already holds.

  3. 03

    Parents top up

    Parents install the app, add credit to the wallet and set the daily limit and any items they want blocked.

  4. 04

    Tap, serve, report

    Break time runs on taps. The office gets the day's numbers, and parents get their receipts, automatically.

From the canteen

Schools that stopped handling coins

Break used to be twenty minutes of queueing and five minutes of eating. Now the line clears before the second bell.
HAHuda A.Cafeteria supervisor
I stopped sending my son with cash. I top up on Sunday, set his daily limit, and I can see exactly what he had.
RMRania M.Parent, Grade 4
The allergy block took the fear out of it. A child with a nut allergy simply cannot be sold the wrong item.
FSFahad S.School nurse
No till float, no counting after the bell, no missing change. Our staff leave on time now.
NKNouf K.Operations manager
Parent calls about canteen spending dropped to almost nothing, because they can already see it in the app.

FAQ

What schools ask us first

Still unsure about something? Our team replies the same school day.

Talk to us
What happens if a student loses their card?

The office blocks it in seconds and issues a replacement. The balance lives on the student's account, not on the card, so nothing is lost with it.

Can parents control what their child buys?

Yes. Parents set a daily spending limit and can block individual items or whole categories. The till enforces it at the moment of sale.

How are food allergies handled?

Allergies are recorded on the student profile and matched against every item on the menu. If a student taps for something they must not eat, the sale is refused and the cashier sees why.

Does the till keep working if the internet drops?

Yes. The till keeps serving with the balances and rules it already holds, then syncs everything back the moment the connection returns.

Can a student still eat with an empty wallet?

That is the school's call. You can allow a small emergency allowance, or a school-funded meal for specific students, and the system records it separately.

How long does setup take?

Most schools are serving on Fosshati within a couple of weeks — menu loading and card issuing are the longest parts, and we do both with you.

Can we run more than one canteen?

Yes — multiple counters, multiple canteens and multiple campuses, each with its own menu and staff, all reporting into one dashboard.
