School Bright’s Digital School Canteen System operates by seamlessly integrating hardware, mobile applications, and school administrative dashboards through four core steps: system top-ups, merchant payments, real-time notifications, and comprehensive financial reporting. Students can pay for their meals by simply tapping their student ID cards, scanning an in-app QR code, or using a Prompt Pay QR code—completely eliminating the need to carry physical cash.

School Bright, a comprehensive School Management System, features an array of modules including Attendance Tracking, Academic Management, Financial Systems, Digital Canteen Management, and Student Support Systems. These integrated solutions transform schools into safe environments and provide parents with total peace of mind, while simultaneously reducing the administrative workload for teachers and staff through state-of-the-art technology.

What hardware devices are included in the School Bright Digital Canteen System?

School Bright is an all-in-one school management system that includes AI facial recognition cameras, thermal scanning cameras, student ID card scanners, Smart Canteen terminals, and top-up kiosks.

For the Digital Canteen System, there are 3 main components:

1. Smart Canteen Terminals: POS devices located at each canteen stall. They support payments via student cards, in-app QR codes, and PromptPay QR codes.

2. School Bright Top-up Kiosks: On-site kiosks that support both cash and QR code scanning via the School Bright app. Teachers and students can top up their accounts independently—fast, easy, and convenient.

3. School Bright Application: For schools utilizing the digital canteen/cooperative system, students and parents can view their remaining balance directly on the app's home screen.

How does the School Bright Digital Canteen System work?

Step 1: System Top-up

Parents or students can add funds through 3 channels:

• School Bright App: Transfer via PromptPay 24/7.

• On-site Kiosks: Insert cash or scan a QR code at school.

• Web Portal: For teachers and administrative staff managing the system.

Step 2: Canteen Payment

Students and staff pay for goods using the Smart Canteen function. A simple tap or scan makes transactions effortless.

3 Payment Methods:

• Tap a Physical Student Card on the Smart Canteen terminal.

• Scan a Digital Student Card QR Code from the mobile app.

• Scan a PromptPay QR Code (for visitors/external personnel).

Step 3: Real-time Notifications

Users receive a notification via the app for every transaction, allowing them to verify details instantly. The system also displays the balance to help users plan their daily spending.

• Parents receive instant alerts for every purchase and transaction cancellation.

Step 4: Financial Reporting

The School Bright app provides historical top-up and spending reports for parents and students. School administrators can monitor sales per shop and summarize income/expenses via a real-time dashboard.

How does the Digital Student Card work with the Canteen system?

The School Bright student card is a multi-purpose tool for school life, available in two formats:

1. Physical Card: A plastic card with an embedded chip or barcode. Students tap it on the Smart Canteen terminal for instant payment.

2. Digital Card (In-app): Students click the QR code icon in the app to display their digital ID, which the merchant then scans.

3. This single card also handles attendance, library check-outs, and discipline records.
