Point of Sale – Vital to Your Food Services
Move students through the cafeteria lunch line more quickly and easily with an easy-to-use, fast and secure touch screen POS register. Easy-to-use operations, understandable navigation messages, and easy cashier trainability are combined with a vivid, bright on-screen keyboard. This all adds up to a register that saves valuable time for your, your students and your cashiers. ARBAPRO systems can be installed as a single lunch line, or with multiple lunch lines. Adding more lines in the cafeteria as your school grows can easily be done at any time.
Enhance student and parent convenience with payment options tailored for School Cafeterias. ARBAPRO gives you the ability to view all student purchases while managing student account information and tracking reports.
Make menu management and changes a breeze ARBAPRO lets you easily tailor your menu screens so you may offer students optimal meal choice variety. Whether you rotate your menus or menu items on a daily, weekly or hourly basis, we help you build screens, menus, and menu items as your needs require offering you the ultimate in flexibility. Easy to build menu screens and unlimited transitions enable you to create virtually unlimited food families with many preprogrammed item keys.
Back Office Operations Management
The ARBAPRO system includes a manager’s office workstation that allows you to run your business behind the scenes, using a  toolbox of reports and utilities that give you the information you need for communicating with parents, students, administration and finance while making the decisions that matter most. Manage your food production forecasts, inventory analysis and status, ordering, and receiving with ease and insight.
Comprehensive Activity Reports allow your chefs to plan menus for optimum impact, based on historical sales with best-to-worst performance ranking, so that waste and unnecessary food costs can be eliminated. These reports are available at the touch of a button.
Pinpoint profitable (and less-than-profitable) menu offering and food items with ARBAPRO’s accurate profit reporting. Item sales contributions to overall performance help management make truly informed decisions on what to serve and what to buy.
Menu Management can be provided by service-oriented ARBA staff for your busy cafeteria staff, or give staff the tools to do it themselves. ARBA’s Touch Screen menus and screens are fully programmable, and easily changed. They are built the way YOU want, anytime you want.
Of course, ARBAPRO is compatible with Windows® operating systems, so keyboard operations, screens and features make for a familiar work environment.
