Camp POS for the Canteen: No Cash, No Paper Ledger.
Eliminate lost cash and paper camp bank ledgers. Staff find the camper by name, charge their wallet, and every sale is logged.
The Headache of Cash & Paper Canteen Ledgers
Managing physical cash at summer camp is inefficient, error-prone, and frustrating for parents.
Lost Cash at the Lake and Cabins
Campers losing dollar bills from their swim trunks or cabin bunks during active outdoor recreation.
Hours of Nightly Paper Ledger Reconciliation
Camp staff spending 2 hours every night counting physical bills and manually tallying paper snack shack index cards.
Day 1 Budget Blowouts by Campers
Campers spending their entire $30 weekly allowance on candy and soda on Monday, leaving nothing for Friday camp hoodies.
Slow Opening Day Canteen Drop-Off Tables
Parents waiting in a separate 15-minute line on Sunday to write paper checks or hand cash envelopes to the camp banker.

How CamperRoster Cashless Canteen POS Operates
Runs in any web browser on iPads, tablets, and smartphones.
Fast camper lookup by name. Teenage canteen staff can ring up a sale in a few taps, with the balance on screen.
Each sale is saved with the amount, what was bought, and who rang it up, so the end-of-day count is already done.
The register won't accept a charge bigger than what's left in the camper's wallet, so nobody has to chase a parent for a negative balance.
Runs in the browser on the iPad, phone or laptop you already own. No card reader or proprietary terminal to rent.
