The POS system for canteens & staff catering
Lunch rush under control: tap, charge, done – cashless with balance accounts and staff prices.
Staff restaurant, mensa or cafeteria: DiKAS clears the rush away – quick-select keys at the counter, staff prices and meal subsidies via price rules, cashless by NFC card or customer balance.
How it works for you
12 noon, the queue reaches the door
The tray lands on the belt, the cashier taps three keys: dish of the day, side, drink. The employee places her NFC card on the reader – the stored meal subsidy is deducted automatically, the rest is booked from her balance. Next, please. No cash, no counting change – and in the evening the end-of-day close matches to the cent across all counters.

Frequently asked
Canteen: good to know
Can I model staff prices and meal subsidies?
Yes. With customer groups and price rules everyone automatically pays their price: employees the subsidised one, guests the regular one. Tiers – say per department or site – are set up as price rules too.
To the price rule system →How does the cashless balance work?
Employees top up their customer account – by cash or card, right at the till. They pay by NFC card or via the account; every top-up and every purchase is documented, and the settlement per employee adds up.
More on balance & NFC cards →Is it fast enough for the rush?
That is what direct sale is made for: quick-select keys for the dishes of the day, three taps per meal, payment by NFC card in seconds. With several tills at the counter the queue spreads out – reporting still stays central.
What does the TSE cost?
The Basic plan includes the cloud TSE. From the Gastro plan the TSE is chargeable: either the cloud TSE for €12/month or the one-off Swissbit hardware TSE (KassenSichV compliant, €269, certified for 5 years). Either way every transaction is TSE-signed. Without a local server (pure cloud operation), only the cloud TSE is available.
