How to choose a canteen payment machine for your school or factory

When canteen operators compare payment machines, the decision usually comes down to four factors: payment speed at peak hours, hygiene, offline reliability and reporting. Face recognition terminals are the fastest per transaction and need nothing in the diner's hand; IC card systems remain the most budget-friendly for large schools; QR code payment fits canteens where users already pay by phone everywhere else.

Before signing with any supplier, ask for a live demo with your own canteen flow, confirm offline working, and check how reports export to your existing management system. A factory that supports customization can match the machine to your workflow instead of the other way round.
