ECCOgen Campus Card Client Testimonials

“The ECCOgen system has changed our lunch service from a function to a third source funding.  We used to provide food to our students with the hope of breaking even, now our cafeteria is a major funding area on campus to the tune of six figures.  The ECCOgen system allows us to track inventory, takes pressure off our employees because it is so simple to use, allows administrators to view sales, see trends, and see real time data.  Within 18 months, we went from thousands of dollars in the red to over one hundred thousand dollars of profit.  The system allows us to filter out cash, which helps reduce theft and has changed the culture of our school.  We even use the system at athletic events, extracurricular events, hosted meetings on campus, and even as an attendance procedure during emergencies.”

– Tim Odle, Director of Operations, Orange Lutheran High School  

“Our parents love the convenience of not having to give out cash to their students each morning.  Parents now have control and visibility of what their child is buying.  The ECCOgen system is also a tool that has helped with our students that are on subsidized lunches, it has allowed us to provide to these students in an easy to use manner.”

– Jorge Helmer, CFO, Archbishop Mitty High School  

“In the first 3 weeks of ECCOgen's operation, our food sales are up 50% over the same time last year.”

– Tom Gorndt, Business Manager, Bellarmine College Preparatory  

“The ECCOgen system has been a life saver for the school.  Due to the efficiency of the system, we are able to get over 300 students through our lunch line with plenty of time to spare.  The reporting functions not only allow us to keep control but we can also follow the cash that comes in and out as well as get reports on what items are being sold on campus.  Now that we know exactly what is being sold we are able change our orders and fluctuate our menus resulting in lower expenses.  Once we started to use the system we definitely saw an increase in sales.”

– Carissa Saugstad, Advancement Assistant, Western Christian Schools

“The advantages of a cashless campus are clear on many fronts and the ECCOgen system allows us to become a cashless campus.  We use the system for transactions in the cafeteria and we are expanding the system to include all student life activities including dances, retreats, field trips, athletic events, etc.  Students can now make purchases without having to worry about having any cash or checks on hand.”

– Steve Depetris, Director of Finance, Bishop O’Dowd High School  

“One of the biggest benefits of the ECCOgen system has been the administrative cost savings we have seen.  The system allows us to eliminate the need to process checks and cash which has helped simplify our accounting and tightens our control.”

– Thomas Hartnett, CFO, St. Stephen’s Episcopal School  

“The ease of tracking purchases and the reporting that is available has been very useful.  From a business standpoint, we now have all of the information we need in one spot.  Our parents love the convenience of being able to go online and pre-order for their students.”

– Deirdre Williams, Accountant, Head Royce School  

“ECCOgen's Campus Card cafeteria system is ten times easier than what we used to use (cash register) - Just the elimination of counting cash is worth the change.”

– Nancy Janda, Cafeteria Manager, Bellarmine College Preparatory  

“Once our school started to use the ECCOgen system we saw an increase in revenue as compared to prior years.  The students are no longer limited to the dollars in their pockets.”

– Rick Diggs, VP of Operations, St. Vincent Pallotti High School  

“With the ECCOgen system we are able to have all of our information right at hand, in particular the reporting makes it much easier to collate all of our orders and have everything in one place.  Our parents appreciate the system because they can control what their children are eating and how much they are spending each day.”

“Working with ECCOgen has been such an easy process.  They installed the software and card readers and trained our staff in a day and a half.  With the new campus card in place we are seeing an increase in the efficiency of our cafeteria system.”

– Shelly Leung, Assistant Business Manager, Lick Wilmerding  

“I'm very excited about the new food service system and having a pre-paid card.  My son, Joe, the conniver, skipped lunch many times to save the lunch money for things he wanted to buy!  This will be much more convenient - for both of us!!”
