Cafeteria Card

Cafeteria card

A cafeteria card is an RFID card used in factory, office, hospital and school cafeterias for meal tracking or prepaid spending. The person taps their card on the reader at the till; the meal is recorded or deducted from the balance.

Which card?

• 13.56 MHz card: common in balance-based / prepaid cafeteria systems
• 125 kHz card: systems that only read the ID and count meals

In most organisations, the cafeteria card is the same card as the staff ID and turnstile card. To combine them in a single card, choose the frequency your system reads.

Personalised printing

Names, employee numbers and photos can be printed on the cards; the list is uploaded in Excel. You can download the list of chip numbers (UID) from your order page and import it in bulk into your cafeteria software.
