Fortunately, an enterprising firm from Pennsylvania have applied their skill and experience and created a device with the power to handle cafeteria logistics, and more!

Food Services Solutions’ “Portable POS” is an all-in-one handheld device designed to provide smart point of sale functionality, lightning fast data processing, cash accounting, and real-time account synchronization, in any setting required. While the device was conceived with the school cafeteria and lunchroom in mind, the versatile Portable POS can be used almost anywhere.

The FSS portable device is powered by a beefy A7 dual core processor and utilizes an Android 4.4 operating system to support a variety of applications. With integrated touch screen, card reader, contactless card reader, barcode scanners, camera, GPS, numerous connectivity options and a thermal printer, the device is the modern food services equivalent of the Swiss Army knife, and has enough tricks up its sleeve to handle anything thrown its way.

The FSS team drew their inspiration for the device from their two decades spent in food service technology, gathering information from twenty years spent on the front line and using it to form an expert strategy for not only revolutionizing their industry, but also working practices on a wider scale.

The result is not only the stunning FSS Portable POS device, but also the intelligent software it integrates with. This software is developed with the diverse needs of schools and food service institutions in mind, giving managers and overseers a quick and easy reference for student accounts, product inventories and recent transactions.

Food service professionals can expect to see the FSS Portable POS device in a school near them in the not so distance future. Software and device demos are available through Food Services Solutions.
