Complete Solutions for Cashless Catering: GiroWeb - IT Systems Provider for Business and Education Catering in Germany

Cashless Solutions for Business and Education Catering

GiroWeb is an IT systems provider focussing on complete solutions for cashless ordering, payment and transaction clearing in the area of communal catering. They have more than three decades of experience and competence around cash and cashless POS systems with payment solutions for business and education environments from kindergarten to university.

GiroWeb stands for cashless catering solutions with a competent and efficient one stop service provision, supported by a strong network of international integration partners. Their core competencies are fast and secure system and process implementations in company restaurants, canteens, refectories and cafeterias, also including operating and vending machines at work and in school.

Innovative POS from GiroVend to GiroWeb

The successful GiroWeb history starts with the mile stone invention of the first cashless payment solution for communal catering in Germany, developed at the time by Hess SB-Automatenbau. This POS system was a technical innovation called GiroVend. It was based on cards with magnetic stripes (nowadays mainly replaced by RFID chip technologies in combination with stand alone systems or cloud services). Back then the predominant payment method in canteens and similar facilities was cash.

In 2006 the cashless catering business was passed on to GiroWeb, in order to further leverage the potential in a market still dominated by cash. Since then GiroWeb has been associated with state-of-the-art catering in the field of cashless payment solutions, i.e. business gastronomy as well as university eateries, school lunchrooms and daycare centers. The network of regional branches with full-service covers all of Germany.

Complete Solutions with Service and Support

Cashless systems and payment solutions by GiroWeb combine secure technologies and intelligent networks with tradition and innovation - either as stand alone systems or cloud services. This provides an ideal basis for sustainable efficiency at the POS of self-catering companies as well as contract caterers in business or education environments.

Whether a catering facility includes efficient self-service terminals (such as a card loader to top up cards or accounts via different methods of payment), RFID chip-card systems for external guests or mobile web apps for quick access, GiroWeb creates the best solutions for any catering setup (also including accessibility for wheelchair users).

GiroWeb provides a modular approach to software, hardware and system integration. Their solutions combine products and services such as RFID coding and seamless integration of chip-cards or transponders as well as customized brand design of existing or future payment media. Multi-functional chip-cards can also comprise other service functions e.g. restricted area access control, working time recording and parking lot access management.
