DX for Schools
Built for a school that is using it today
We built SCHOODA, a pre-ordering and cashless payment system for school cafeterias, and it is live in a high school now. We were not only the developer — we handled the design, the conversations with the school, and the payment providers, and we still operate it. That is the kind of involvement we bring to school projects.
What gets in the way
School systems fail for a specific reason: they add a step for the people who have the least time. Anything we build has to be faster than what it replaces, on the first day.
The lunch queue eats the lunch break
Orders pile into a short break, and the counter gets stuck taking orders and handling cash.
How we solved it
Students pre-order and pay on their phones; the counter only hands the food over.
Cash handling is a daily risk
Counting, reconciling and carrying cash takes staff time and carries its own risk.
How we solved it
Cashless payment, with monthly settlement generated automatically.
Demand is invisible until the day itself
Without advance numbers, the kitchen either runs out or throws food away.
How we solved it
Pre-orders give the kitchen tomorrow's numbers today.
Contact with students runs through many tools
Scheduling, content delivery and follow-ups each live in a different place and get reconciled by hand.
How we solved it
Put the flow inside the tool students already open — for one client, that was LINE.
What we have delivered
SCHOODA — school cafeteria ordering
Pre-order, payment and pickup for students, a kitchen queue for cafeteria staff, and an admin console for menus, sales and inventory. Built multi-tenant so several schools can share it.
Live at a high school
Case studyCashless payment and monthly settlement
Payment status updates instantly from the provider's webhook, and monthly settlement — fee deduction and transfer statements — is generated automatically.
PayPay / credit card
Career support inside LINE
Interview booking, learning content, homework and assessments for participants, plus an admin console for staff — built as a LINE mini app so nothing new had to be installed.

Student data is personal data about minors. We hold ISO/IEC 27001 certification and work within it.

What schools need that others do not
The people who use a school system are students, cafeteria staff and teachers — not IT staff. When pickup confirmation was slowing the counter down, we did not write a manual for it; we moved the button to the student's screen and rewrote the student-facing guide to match.
Student data is personal data about minors, and a school year does not pause for a migration. We hold ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and we phase rollouts so that a term can end normally even if something needs to change.
