Food Service Solutions, Inc is a software development company based out of Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States that successfully designed and implemented biometrics into a lunchline. [1]
Founded in 1989, FSS uses biometric scanning technology to provide services for educational and institutional foodservice providers. The company has established a position of market leadership [1] addressing two problems in school-based foodservice operations. The first is that school children eligible for free or reduce-fee lunches through government assistance programs often fail to participate because of the perceived social stigma associated with showing a special card or meal ticket in front of other students. The second is that in the foodservice POS industry, software has historically been proprietary, cumbersome for clients to self-administer, and difficult to integrate with other technologies.[ citation needed ]
FSS also has a webservice where parents can view what their child has been eating, what their lunch account balance is and also make payments with their credit card or checking/savings account. [2]
