🍱Canteen & Institutional Catering

Meals on account, settled against payroll

A canteen rarely takes cash. MondayPOS runs meals on employee and student accounts, applies the subsidy, and hands finance a deduction file at month-end.

The problem

What goes wrong in Canteen & Institutional Catering

An institutional canteen is a shop where almost nobody pays. Meals go on an employee number, the company covers part of the price, students are on plans with different entitlements, and at month-end somebody has to turn thousands of small transactions into a payroll deduction that HR will accept. Done on paper, it is a week of work and an argument.

FAQ

Asked by canteen and catering managers

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Ask us directly. A human answers, usually the same day.

They do not, at the counter. A meal is charged to their employee or student account by card or ID, with any subsidy split at that moment between the employer's share and theirs.

Yes. Per-person totals for the period are produced from the actual transactions and exported for payroll, so month-end is a file rather than a week of reconstruction.

Uptake is retained by meal, shift and department, so production can be planned against the number of people who historically eat rather than against headcount on paper.
