Legal Information
In 1987, JAS Software, a sole proprietorship, created Food Service Management Tools to assist a local school district with the management of its cafeterias. The director was so impressed that she began spreading the word and more and more schools began using the software. Within a few years, the company expanded into a two-person partnership with the goal of making food service management even easier.
Although the DOS-based software was powerful and quite reliable, the company felt it could do better and began working on its first Windows-based point of sales system. That project led to the original Meal Magic point-of-sales software in 1998. Schools began flocking to the new product, and a year later the company incorporated and took on more employees to handle the demand.
Meal Magic became very popular and business was booming. Not wanting to sit contently, the company began working on other innovations and ultimately developed the first Windows Mobile sales register, as featured in Business Solutions magazine. The existing Meal Magic became Meal Magic Classic and the new .Net-based Meal Magic .Net Suite, now Meal Magic Suite, was released. The following year, the country’s first online free and reduced application web site, LunchApp.com, developed by Meal Magic Corporation, went live.
We produced a palm-sized sales register years before iPads existed and then released the first iPad-based sales registers for school cafeterias. Recently, Meal Magic Suite transformed into Meal Magic Cloud, a software-as-a-service solution, and Meal Magic Insight soon will simplify school food service management even more. Meal Magic Corporation proves that creativity is alive and well.

Point Of Sales Registers
Powerful touchscreen sales registers
When it comes to serving meals, you need a powerful solution in your cafeteria to speed customers through line while ensuring accuracy and accountability, and that's what you get with Meal Magic Cloud. Unlike other sales registers, our solution not only does the job but also raises standards of innovation.
Our Build-A-Meal technology, backed by over 20 years of proven dependability, automatically turns a-la-carte items into reimbursable meals. It's sophisticated, on-the-fly analysis of food selections helps increase a-la-carte revenues and reimbursements.
Our innovative class-sales, quick-sales, and auto-select item modes speed up your lines. You can even make district-wide family deposits a snap.
A reliable network disconnect mode with auto-recovery keeps sales going even if the Internet connection is down for several days.
Integrating vending machines into Meal Magic Cloud is a breeze. With minimal effort you can automate sales and begin increasing your revenues. Our powerful vending software allows customers to use their accounts or pay with cash at the machine. They can even make deposits.
Items can be vended as a-la-carte offerings or combined into reimbursable meals when possible. Machines can operate all day or on schedules. Pricing can be fixed or flexible based on grades and benefits and can vary between students and adults.
Currently, Meal Magic Cloud interfaces with Vend-ucation vending machines through a VendNovation interface. Please contact Vend-ucation for assistance with selecting compatible equipment.
