Why cash and paper allergy lists disrupt the school canteen

Lost cash and misplaced lunch money

Today Students carry paper money and coins that get lost in the yard, spent on unapproved items, or slow down counter queues.

With MG School Students use an account balance topped up in advance, keeping cash out of the canteen while cashiers process meals quickly.

Allergy risks from paper notes

Today Staff rely on paper lists or verbal warnings that busy cashiers miss during crowded breaks, risking serving a flagged food.

With MG School The till links to the student clinic record, flagging allergens and blocking prohibited foods when the cashier selects them.

Parents left unaware of purchases

Today Parents have no visibility into what snacks or meals their children buy at school until balances run out unexpectedly.

With MG School Parents follow purchases and monitor current canteen balances directly in the parent mobile app or on WhatsApp.

Mismatched sales and takings

Today End-of-day canteen totals require counting loose cash and paper slips, causing balance discrepancies that take hours to reconcile.

With MG School Every canteen purchase and balance top-up lands in the school accounts without re-typing, keeping cash and ledger totals aligned.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

How does the canteen till know about student allergies?

The canteen module connects directly to the school clinic file. When medical staff flag an ingredient on a student profile, canteen items containing that ingredient are blocked at the register.

Can parents see what their children eat and buy?

Yes. Parents follow their child's day in the parent mobile app or on WhatsApp, reviewing daily canteen purchases and current prepaid balance amounts.

Can we migrate existing student records and opening balances from Excel?

Yes. Migrating students, clinic records, opening account balances, and fee details is part of the setup, and your administration reviews the data before go-live.

Is the canteen register and parent app fully in Arabic?

Yes. Screens, documents, parent app views, and WhatsApp messages are in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layouts throughout and language choice per user.

How is MG School priced, and do we pay per student or cashier?

There are no per-user or per-student fees. In Kuwait, the Essential package starts at KWD 45 per month per system plus a one-time KWD 100 setup with unlimited users.
