Overview
The Canteen module manages staff and visitor cafeteria operations including menu management, POS billing, coupon/subsidy tracking, and consumption reporting.
Menu & POS
Set up the canteen menu with items, categories, and prices. The POS terminal supports:
- Quick-select menu buttons for fast billing during rush hours.
- Staff ID card scanning for subsidised meals (deducted from payroll).
- Visitor cash/UPI billing.
- Meal coupon management for patients' attendants.
- Daily sales summary with item-wise breakdown.
Staff Meal Subsidy
Configure meal subsidies per employee grade:
- Full subsidy: Meal cost fully borne by the hospital.
- Partial subsidy: Employee pays a co-pay amount.
- No subsidy: Full price charged.
Subsidised meal consumption is tracked per employee and reported to HR/Finance for payroll deduction or accounting.
Reporting
Canteen reports include: Daily/monthly revenue, item-wise sales, staff subsidy costs, footfall by meal time, food cost vs revenue analysis, and wastage tracking.
Notes
Tip
Use staff ID card scanning for meal tracking -- it's faster than manual entry and provides accurate subsidy accounting.
