  225. <p>In the realm of foodservice operations, the need for flexible and reliable point-of-sale (POS) solutions transcends industry boundaries. Picture a hospital cafeteria where customer transactions are swift and secure, or a bustling university campus where students enjoy frictionless dining experiences. These scenarios underscore the pivotal role that POS systems play in various sectors, each with its own distinct regulations, workflows, and demands. <a href="https://seniordining.org/senior-dining-news/f/how-to-maximize-your-pos-data-for-smarter-business-decisions" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">A &#8216;one-size-fits-all&#8217; approach simply won&#8217;t cut it.</a> That&#8217;s where industry-specific solutions come into play, offering tailored functionalities to meet the unique needs of different sectors.

  401.  
  402.  
  403. <p>In an era dominated by digital transactions,<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/contactless-payment.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title=""> where contactless payments and online banking have become the norm</a>, it&#8217;s easy to overlook the enduring presence of cash.&nbsp;Still, there are moments when cash is not just a preference but a necessity. Consider those times when we stumble upon spare dollars, receive cash gifts, or encounter situations where card payment options are unavailable or inconvenient. In these instances, the ability to utilize cash at a self-service station becomes not just a convenience but a vital requirement. Introducing Volanté’s latest addition: the CashLink Kiosk.</p>
  404.  
  405.  
  406.  
  407. <p>Imagine this scenario: you&#8217;re a healthcare employee rushing through a bustling hospital on your quick lunch break, and you realize you&#8217;ve run out of time to grab a meal. With only cash in hand, no funds available through your employee badge for on-account purchases, and no nearby cashiers in sight, the option to swiftly use your currency to order food at a self-service kiosk becomes invaluable. This story resonates with factory workers or students who encounter similar time constraints.</p>
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. <p>Similarly, for those who prioritize privacy over their financial transactions, the availability of cash-compatible self-service stations offers a sense of reassurance and autonomy. Moreover, let&#8217;s not forget the significant portion of the population, including those without access to banking services, who heavily rely on cash for their day-to-day transactions. For them, the ability to utilize cash at a self-service kiosk bridges the gap between digital advancements and financial inclusivity, ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital revolution.</p>
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. <p>This all-encompassing self-service kiosk redefines customer interaction with <a href="https://volantesystems.tourial.com/my-volante-portal" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">My Volanté – our integrated account management system</a>. My Volanté serves as a web-based portal for account management and transaction access, primarily utilized for online fund loading via secure credit card transactions or payroll deduction, enabling future purchases at Volanté POS or Kiosk terminals. Enhancing convenience and financial management, customers can now effortlessly load cash into their My Volanté accounts at CashLink Kiosk stations.</p>

Users can specify allergies on their My Volanté profile, enabling the kiosk to present personalized orders free from allergens.</p>

  422.  
  423.  
  424.  
  425. <p>With this new addition, we hope to assist our clients with their on-account transactions and address labor shortages by eliminating the need for an on-site cashier. This contemporary addition to our hardware lineup is set to redefine convenience in various industries, including hospitals, corporate dining cafeterias, senior living communities, and higher education spaces.</p>

  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. <p>In the world of academia, amidst lectures, exams, and late-night study sessions, one constant demand remains: food. For college students navigating hectic schedules, finding a swift and hassle-free method to dine on campus is paramount.<a class="" href="https://www.volantesystems.com/higher-education-campuses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title=""> Enter: Volanté&#8217;s tap &amp; go solution</a>. Integrated with student cards, badges, and more, with one tap (or swipe), students can access their meal plans, use the declining balance to purchase their meal, and reload their account in a snap. </p>
  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Understanding Student Meal Plans</strong></h4>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. <p>Wait, how does a meal plan work with a POS system? <a class="" href="https://www.thoughtco.com/college-meal-plans-788484#:~:text=Essentially%2C%20a%20meal%20plan%20is,be%20deducted%20from%20your%20account." target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">A meal plan essentially functions as a prepaid system for on-campus dining expenses.</a> Students load money before the start of the term to pay for their anticipated dining hall meals. After accessing the dining area and selecting their meal items, diners use their student ID, fob, barcoded voucher, or specialized meal card to deduct the cost of the meal from their account.</p>
  684.  
  685.  
  686.  
  687. <p>Meal plans serve as a priority for sustenance on campus. Yet, not all meal plans are created equal. Unlike traditional meal plans that treat your dining choices like a strict diet regimen, Volanté&#8217;s approach is more of a culinary dance. Think of it as the best of the meal plans—dynamic, flexible, and perfectly tailored to your needs. Because who wants to commit to a fixed number of meals when you can have a meal plan that understands students changing cravings?</p>
  688.  
  689.  
  690.  
  691. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Catering to Student Realities</strong></h4>
  692.  
  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>Let&#8217;s face it: the stereotypical college student consuming three square meals a day rarely reflects reality. Volanté acknowledges this and empowers students to align their meal plans with their actual eating patterns. Are they more inclined to skip breakfast but indulge in late-night cravings? Volanté’s declining balance system allows them to allocate funds smartly, optimizing their dining budget for when and what they actually eat.</p>
  696.  
  697.  
  698.  
  699. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Power of Declining Balance</strong></h4>
  700.  
  701.  
  702.  
  703. <p>At the heart of Volanté lies its declining balance feature, which may resonate as &#8220;flex dollars.&#8221; This innovative approach flips the script on conventional meal plans. Rather than being tied to a set number of meals per week, students have a financial balance, similar to a debit card, loaded onto their accounts. As they dine, purchases subtract from this balance, encouraging mindful spending and choice-driven dining.</p>
  704.  
  705.  
  706.  
  707. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Implementing a POS in Your Dining Hall&nbsp;</strong></h4>
  708.  
  709.  
  710.  
  711. <p>In colleges and universities, the point of sale serves as the gateway for gathering crucial dining data and trends. Whether it&#8217;s through self-serve kiosks or cashier POS systems, the ability to capture insights from the moment students tap their cards to the meals laid out before them is instrumental in maintaining the seamless flow of the dining hall. </p>
  712.  
  713.  
  714.  
  715. <p>These systems not only streamline transactions but also offer valuable data that informs menu choices, peak dining times, and preferences, enabling dining facilities to adapt and cater to evolving student needs effectively. Volanté, as a versatile POS solution, embodies this understanding, seamlessly integrating with the ebb and flow of student dining experiences, enhancing not just the transactional aspect but also the broader dining ecosystem within higher education institutions. </p>
