Cloud-Based Tech: Lolly Simplifies Transactions for the School Meals Sector

In a feature for Foodservice Equipment Journal, Joe Peskett reports on the launch of Lolly’s new cloud-based school meal system. Designed to support education providers, the system streamlines the process of validating students against allocated meal allowances.

Efficiency and Anonymity

The solution allows schools to allocate specific daily allowances to students, which are then interfaced directly into the Lolly point of sale (PoS) system.

  • Seamless Payments: Students simply use their existing contactless ID cards to check balances or redeem meals.
  • Reducing Stigma: By providing a discreet, cashless interaction between the student and the till operator, the system removes the visible stigma often associated with free school meals.
  • Real-Time Control: Eligibility and allowances are managed in real-time via a web-based panel, reducing the risk of fraud and allowing for "anytime, anywhere" monitoring.

Future-Proofing Education Catering

Peter Moore, CEO at Lolly, commented:

“We're excited by the potential of this launch. We are now developing it to offer additional facilities, such as promoting healthy eating and supporting loyalty schemes, which could open up a whole new market for education providers.”
