Process a Canteen Order at Checkout
Search and add menu items to a cart, adjust quantities, choose a payment method, and complete checkout.
For School administrators, Staff. Updated 2026-08-08.
Overview
Canteen checkout works like a point-of-sale cart: search and add active items with available stock, adjust quantities within the item's stock limit, optionally name the customer, choose a payment method, and confirm.
Stock is re-validated at the moment of checkout, so an item that ran out or was deactivated after being added to the cart will block the sale for that line. The same page also has a Recent canteen orders tab for reviewing, filtering, exporting, and printing receipts for past orders (see the separate Canteen Orders History article).

Common problems
Checkout fails saying an item could not be found or has limited stock
The item was deleted, deactivated, or its stock changed since being added to the cart; remove and re-add it with the current available quantity.
