The serving line runs on eMeal. MiChoice's flagship cafeteria POS combines speed, accuracy, and full USDA compliance in a client/server system that operates on any Windows-based touch screen PC.
Runs on any Windows-based touch screen PC — no proprietary hardware required. Use existing equipment or new.
Robust client/server design ensures reliability at every serving station while maintaining centralized data integrity.
Live connection to COMS-PRO verifies student eligibility status on every transaction — free, reduced, or full price.
A full library of child nutrition management reports — meal counts, revenue, participation rates, and more.
Every transaction is recorded to meet applicable government regulations and NSLP reporting requirements.
Designed for throughput. Fast transaction times mean shorter lines and more time for students to eat.
Complete serving line accountability — every meal transaction is logged, timestamped, and traceable.
Connects across the district's WAN via COMS-PRO. Central office visibility into every cafeteria in real time.
eMeal operates as a client/server Point of Sale program on any brand of Windows-based touch screen PC. The touch interface is designed for the realities of a cafeteria environment — gloved hands, fast transactions, minimal training required for serving line staff.
At the serving line, the system identifies the student (via PIN or ID card), retrieves their eligibility status in real time from COMS-PRO, records the transaction, and updates account balances instantly. The entire process takes seconds per student.
eMeal is the front end of the MiChoice ecosystem. It connects in real time to COMS-PRO (Central Office Management) for eligibility status and district reporting, to FAR-Apps for free and reduced status updates, and to mymealmoney.com for balance pre-payments made by parents online.
When a parent pays online at 7pm, the balance is available at the serving line the next morning. When an eligibility determination changes, the new status is live at the POS within minutes — not days.
eMeal generates a comprehensive library of child nutrition management reports — daily meal counts by category, revenue reconciliation, participation rates by school or district, reimbursable meal tracking, and more. Everything your child nutrition director needs for USDA reporting and operational decision-making.
