"Managing lunch accounts for 400 students used to mean hours with spreadsheets each week. This tool lets me log top-ups and check low balances in minutes. The statement printout is exactly what parents expect."

Sophie Bertrand
Cafeteria Manager
★★★★★

"I use this every morning before service to check who's critically low and needs to be flagged before they reach the counter. The red/amber status colours make it instantly clear — no hunting through rows."

★★★★☆

"As a parent I appreciated that the administrator could hand me a printed statement showing every purchase my child made. Full transparency with zero effort on their part."

★★★★★

"We piloted this during exam week when our usual system was down. It handled 6 classes of accounts without any issues — and the printed reports were accepted by the finance office without question."
