'SchoolCafé' is an app that helps students in K-12 schools and their parents to both follow activity and keep control of their school cafeterias. The SchoolCafé app is synced up with students' schools' cafeterias, showing the menus and allowing both students and parents to track activity and budgets.
SchoolCafé is designed to be used by parents and students through the same connected account. For parents, they are able to keep track of how their children are using their cafeteria budgets. The app also allows them to fill their children's accounts remotely, and it even lets parents set up automated refills.
For students, the app lets them see what's coming up on the menu, mark their favorite items, and rate everything that gets served. Cafeterias can then use this information to improve their menus moving forward.
