Cashless Catering
Coppice uses a fingertip cashless catering technology called VeriCool for Schools.
How students are enrolled
During the enrolment process computer software captures a digital signature of your child's middle
fingertip, which is then broken down into data points, similar to reference point on a map. VeriCool
then store this on our own school server. No-one has access to this information and the stored data
points can never be viewed as anything other than a string of numbers and letters, so please be assured
this entire system is very secure.
Once enrolled, as each student enters the dining area, they will place their finger on a fingertip scanner to make a payment for their food. No cash is taken at the counter.
Parents may give their child a cheque which is handed over at the finance office, or cash which is loaded into the account using a wall mounted coin and note loader near the main school entrance.
Benefits to you and your child
- Any student on Free School Meals (more info below) is not identified as all students and staff 'pay' in the same way, with their fingertip.
- Students are not wasting money on unhealthy foods off site.
- Students learn how to manage an account - an important life skill.
- It removes potential threats of bullying or theft (especially if cheques are used).
- We can produce a report on your child's nutritional intake.
- Lunchtime queues are cut and your child eats a good meal every day.
