Quick Serve is a Food Service tool that allows you to easily enter transactions for patrons en masse. Quick Serve is helpful for smaller schools that don't need to use terminals or for schools that want to quickly enter transactions where meals were distributed collectively such as a field trip. You can enter transactions altogether for more than one day at a time and search for students by grade, homeroom, PIN entry, or by name. Non-student patrons can be searched for by PIN entry or name. Patrons are always charged based on their eligibility.
