At Newlands Girls’ School we operate a biometric recognition system in our canteen.  This allows the till registers to recognise pupils using finger imaging, greatly improving security and efficiency.  The benefits include:

• Improved security when processing financial transactions in the school
• No cost to parents and administration time to replace lost or forgotten cards
• Reduction in opportunities for pupils using each other’s or lost/stolen cards or pin numbers
• Pupils do not have to remember a pin or to bring a card
• Reduction in queueing time
