Our software allows schools and caterers to take control of school dinners orders and payments as well as manage Free School Meals quickly and easily.
Let us show you how the system works.
You can set up menu cycles and upload meal images. Then parents log into SCOPAY to select and pay for their meal choices, or top-up account balances. Run kitchen reports and catering returns.
Using this module reduces human error and improves your audit trail as everything is recorded. You can record, report and automate many dinner-related financial tasks, including generating personalised reminders, should parents fail to keep up with payments. This ensures you retain full control over your finances and easily oversee incoming and outgoing payments. Run weekly catering returns and generate Free School Meals reports.
Parents can select, book and pay for dinners in advance via our free SCOPAY app.
To help reduce debt, parents can set up low balance alerts. Also, you can opt to only accept orders when the account is in credit. The easy reporting functionality reduces time spent checking and chasing outstanding payments. Should you need to contact parents for missed payments or send reminders our Communications module works seamlessly and messages can be sent in a few clicks.
Up to 78% of food waste in both primary and secondary schools is avoidable.
Without knowing what children will pick, kitchens find it almost impossible to avoid food wastage. Running kitchen reports to cook meals to order will massively reduce waste: great news for the finances!
With this option, you can allow pupils (or classroom assistants) to choose their meals in the classroom, via a computer or interactive whiteboard. Classroom Edition encourages healthy meal choices, and produces an electronic register automatically. It’s accessed via an internet browser, so no additional software is needed.
Classroom Edition also works with our Extended Day module.
Give your team precise control over school dinners and club bookings. Prevent over-booking, set clear cut-offs, and reduce last-minute admin all in Schools Cash Office.
What it helps you do: Prevent over-booking and double-booking, set booking windows and cut-off times, apply rules per club or school dinner, reducing manual chasing and confusion.
How it works (at a glance): Choose the booking (club/lunch), set limits and cut-offs, save. It’s as easy as that!
You get all this, with Tucasi’s Dinner Money and Extended Day modules.
“It’s easy and straightforward to understand and use.
Parents can book trips, clubs, dinners and make payments with our free SCOPAY app.
Give your parents access to their own mobile dashboard, where they can see balances, make payments, and even view calendars, right from their phones.
Parents can also set up alerts for reminder messages, e.g. low dinner balance, by email.
For most schools, managing school dinners isn’t something anyone stops to question. But that’s exactly where the real issue hides. At a time when every penny and minute counts, it’s worth asking: how much is “the way we’ve always done it” really costing us?
School mealtimes should be safe, inclusive, and stress-free. But for many schools, managing allergies and dietary requirements is still a daily safeguarding challenge.
This school, like many others, believed they had allergy management under control. It’s a common assumption. When numbers are low, it’s easy to rely on memory, paper notes, or informal communication.
