Employees, students, or authorized visitors simply look at the facial recognition terminal to verify their identity, allowing meal transactions to be processed quickly and accurately.
Smart Touch Technology provides a comprehensive Automated Canteen Management System with Face Recognition in Singapore, integrating facial recognition, cashless payment, meal subsidy management, employee attendance, SmartHR, and cloud-based reporting into one intelligent platform.
