Maqsaf turns the school canteen into something you can manage from your phone. Parents add each child once, top up a points wallet, and pre-order meals for the days ahead. At the counter the child shows a personal QR badge, the cafeteria scans it, and the meal is handed over — no cash, no queues, no lost lunch money. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add your children and link them to their school, grade and class • Browse the school's daily menu with photos, prices and allergen labels • Pre-order meals for one day or the whole week, up to the school's cut-off time • Top up a points wallet and pay securely by card, KNET, Apple Pay or Google Pay • Record each child's allergies so unsuitable items are flagged • Follow every order and wallet transaction in one history • Use the app fully in English or Arabic HOW COLLECTION WORKS Every child gets a printed Maqsaf QR badge from their school. At the canteen the cafeteria scans it and instantly sees the child's name, order number and exactly what was ordered. One scan, one meal, recorded — so an order can never be collected twice. FOR SCHOOLS AND PROVIDERS Schools manage their menu, stock and cafeteria staff; food providers see exactly what to prepare each morning. Parents only ever see their own children. Maqsaf is built in Kuwait and works with your child's school. Ask your school whether Maqsaf is available.
