Varsity College Tuckshop

The students and staff at Varsity College Secondary Campus now have a much improved cafe and tuckshop thanks to the efforts of Akela Constructions over the Christmas 2015-2016 break. The role of Akela Constructions was to provide project management, remove existing benches and install new joinery, supply and install new stainless steel benches, cold room and freezer and appliances. A new store room was installed. The scope of works also included painting, plumbing and data and to install new vinyl flooring.

“Having 1380 students on campus, we first introduced Flexischools to our Canteen in July 2010. After having initial doubts, I very quickly realised I loved everything about it, together with being well received by the school community.

At the beginning of 2011, we decided to further streamline our canteen, utilizing Flexischools with “Online Orders Only”. This proved to be a very good decision, in fact “The Best”.

I cannot emphasize enough, how this has changed our daily operations and in particular how much extra time we have in a day. The advantages to staff and volunteers are enormous, by 8.45am, we know exactly what to prepare and do for the day. Our Menu is now fully flexible, and we produce a lot more items on campus. We have saved hours of work by NOT having to, check paper bags, decipher handwriting, collate orders, count & bank cash, etc.

Switching to “Online Orders Only” Flexischools, has certainly taken the pressure off, and created a much more relaxed working environment. Oh, what the push of a button can do!!!”
