Why Cantoche?
No investment needed, an affordable solution
No expensive hardware to buy. A solution accessible to every budget.
Essential features, a simple interface
Everything you need, nothing more. An intuitive interface for immediate adoption.
Predefined profiles for greater security and simplicity
Manage user access and permissions in just a few clicks, for optimal security.
An annual subscription you control
No surprises. A fixed, transparent cost for worry-free budget management.
Compatible with your environment
Cantoche works from any phone, PC or tablet and you can use your own card suppliers (QR code or barcode).
Control access for your half-boarders, day students, staff diners and visitors
When a student checks in for a service included in their plan, the check-in is recorded. Charge them off-plan from their electronic wallet (PME) when they are allowed to eat off-plan, and deny access for unauthorized meals.
Top up their account by entering payments. Generate the payment collection slip by payment method for data entry into Op@le.
During service
Decide quickly, without ambiguity
For the teams in charge of access control (supervisors...), the challenge is to check without slowing down the cafeteria flow: access granted, off-plan charge or blocked. Cantoche consolidates the useful information at scan time: applied rules, duplicate detection, meal plan/service/day check, explicit reason for denial, and the ability to force entry if the user's profile allows it.
Without cards, Cantoche offers a roll-call mode: mark presence by class, by level, or as students pass through. The same eligibility rules apply, with quick debits and no card system required.
What Cantoche brings you
Management
Track accounts, keep the proof
For administrative officers the benefits are clear: fast database updates, no more ordering paper tickets, no more tracking inactive vouchers, management of balances, transactions, payments, corrections/adjustments, off-plan tracking, and the ability to reconstruct a full history. Cantoche organizes these elements around an account (student/staff) and a searchable transaction log.
Production
Track meals served
For the head chef, Cantoche provides an operational counter (real-time / per service): a useful reading to adjust production and minimize the gap between forecast and served.
Administration
Configure and secure
On the administration side, configure and control access: services, meal plans, person types, pricing categories, payment methods, users and permissions, with a supervision logic.
Forecasting
Anticipate the right volumes
Cantoche can optionally collect, ahead of service, the expected headcount for the next service. The head chef then has a forecast count to adjust production, enabling fine-grained kitchen organization.
Every decision is explained, no grey area
Access granted, off-plan charge, or denied: the result is immediate and the reason always visible.

Traceability and compliance: what matters when you need to justify
In a school, every operation must be explainable: who did what, why, and with what impact. Cantoche emphasizes traceability (audit log), period closings, and controlled corrections to maintain a coherent chain of evidence.
When sensitive information exists (e.g. medical data related to meal plans), Cantoche handles it with an appropriate level of protection (encryption).
