A manufacturing group modernised canteens for 18,000 workers
A manufacturing group modernised canteens for 18,000 workers across 5 plants — cashless, coupon-free, with shorter queues and less food wastage.
The challenge
Plant canteens ran on cash and coupons — long lunch queues, food wastage from bad forecasting, and no consumption data.
Cash-and-coupon canteens mean long lunch queues, food wastage from guesswork forecasting, and zero consumption data for a benefit serving thousands every day.

NEXUS Canteen — digital ordering, cashless payments, menu scheduling and consumption analytics.

How it works
Workers pre-order or pay cashless; kitchens plan against real demand, cutting queues and wastage, with consumption visible to admin.
Outcomes
- Shorter lunch queues
- Less food wastage via demand forecasting
- Cashless, coupon-free canteens
- Consumption analytics for admin
The use case in depth
A canteen for 18,000 people is a serious daily operation, but cash and coupons keep it slow and opaque. Digital ordering and cashless payment cut queues immediately, and pre-orders let kitchens plan.
The quieter win is data: cooking to forecasted demand reduces food wastage, and consumption analytics give admin the numbers to run the benefit efficiently instead of by guesswork.
