NEW 2023- FINGER SCANNING
Waterloo Food Service uses PaySchools Point of Sales system in conjunction with Identifier Biometric finger scanners to process sales in the cafeteria.
When a student is enrolled an account is established for each student and the index finger on each hand of each student is scanned into the biometric system to identify the student when they go through the meal service line.
This allows students to move through the meal line faster and prevents overt identification of students who qualify for the free/reduced meal program.
Some fact about biometric finger scanning
We use biometric finger scanning because it’s fast, accurate, cost-effective & secure
NO fingerprint images stored. Only encrypted numerical representations of the unique points of the fingerprint are stored.
identiMetrics never takes your fingerprint, only unique points. The actual fingerprint cannot be recreated from the encrypted template.
identiMetrics uses a proprietary algorithm that can only be used with identiMetrics software.
This is not a fingerprint, as the students grow; we must periodically rescan because the numerical representations change.
Please make sure Students have money on account each day
to purchase meals or extra items
BREAKFAST IS OFFERED DAILY at 7:45 am
FREE/REDUCED MEALS
