FTS supports detailed menu management and ingredient standards, automatically calculating the kitchen’s material requirements based on meal registrations. The system computes meal costs and supports multiple cafeteria models—by dish or by meal set. Parents and students can easily place or cancel meal orders online. Attendance and meal check-in are recorded through devices, ensuring transparency and flexibility based on each school’s model. Notifications are automatically sent to parents—all processes are automated and centrally managed on one unified platform.
