Schools, Colleges & Universities
Whatever your education setting, you need reliable systems that can handle thousands of daily transactions across cafés, restaurants, food halls, vending and grab-and-go outlets. Students expect digital journeys, fast self service and easy payments. MCR brings all of this together.
MCR fully understands the needs of the education sector and continues to develop and enhance the Symphony solution to meet the increasing demands that are now placed on education related catering teams. From EPOS and stock management to cashless payments and online ordering, our Symphony suite has your needs covered. We’ll work with your teams to select the right options for you.
Create a cashless campus.
Cashless is a more secure, convenient and faster way for students to pay. When there’s no cash involved, queues can be cut down significantly across food & beverage outlets. If you can provide quicker transaction times, you can serve more students throughout the day, meaning more revenue. For schools our pre-loaded accounts give parental visibility with easy top-ups.

- High-speed service across multiple outlets
- Self service, mobile ordering and cashless options
- Loyalty, rewards and student-focused journeys
