ALANA™

Point of Sale Terminal for FASTRAK

Process over 40 students a minute!

The ALANA™ is a smart POS terminal designed specifically for the school food service cafeteria. Consisting of a keyboard and color display, this fast-food style, low profile, portable unit is easy to use, fast and durable!

Handling two serving lines is easy!

The ALANA™ POS contains electronic voice features to help regulate the line - including commands such as "thank you", “low balance” and "please wait". It can support four input devices, i.e. two barcode readers and two numeric keypads simultaneously. The ALANA™ display indicates a students balance, meal itemization and which input device is active - a student photo will confirm the identity of the student.

Meal Only Express or Full À-la-carte!

ALANA™ supports several modes of operation, the most commonly used being Exact, Full and "Hands Free" Express. Once a meal has been charged against an account, subsequent card or account usage will alert the operator that a "meal has been eaten", anywhere on campus!

Enter pin numbers, scan cards or bio-metric finger images!

Account activation is achieved when a student enters a pin number or scans a card on the NKP-06 Numeric Keypad (with optional built-in barcode reader). If needed, the operator can enter the account numbers directly on the keyboard. A student query can be performed on the terminal if the student has forgotten their pin number or card. Bio-Metric Finger Print Scanning is also available.

Easy-to-read full color display!

A 256-color LCD display provides valuable information to the operator such as student photo, name, birthday, student ID, account number, balance, class and optional eligibility code. Eighty fully programmable item keys support Offer vs. Serve or à-la-carte operations.
