Q:
Regarding the abolition of the school cafeteria pass.
It seems that the school cafeteria pass is ending, but I don't think there is enough explanation as to why it is ending. Please explain the rationale for terminating the app, how the app is superior to the school cafeteria pass, and why it cannot be replaced by the school cafeteria pass. In addition, although it is thought that there are still a small number of subscribers who do not own smartphones, we will unilaterally abolish the school cafeteria pass without taking alternative measures for such people, It is unfair to ask for a transition to I think this also needs an explanation. We look forward to your sincere reply.
A:
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the transition from the school cafeteria pass to school cafeteria money.
The school cafeteria pass system was linked to the POS register (Toshiba TEC) that was shared not only by the University of Tokyo co-op but also by many co-ops in the Tokyo area. This time, due to the large-scale renovation of the system of the university co-op group nationwide, including the Tokyo area, the cash register will also be changed, and the school cafeteria pass system that was used only in the Tokyo area will be renewed and made into a smartphone application. rice field. Even after the renovation, we will be able to continue the services that we have been able to provide with the school cafeteria pass, so we have decided to ask you to switch to school cafeteria money. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our members by switching the system.
The transition from the school cafeteria pass to school cafeteria money is due to the renewal of the nationwide system as described above, but the functions so far (cashless use at the co-op cafeteria, limited use for eating, My page usage history and nutrition information) will be basically maintained. In the future, we plan to implement point grants according to single items, events, fairs, etc.
At present, one of the urgent requests of the members of the University of Tokyo Co-op is to reduce the congestion in the Komaba cafeteria, especially during peak lunch hours.
We believe that one of the reasons for this congestion is the fact that the number of school cafeteria pass holders is increasing and that the scope of use of the school cafeteria pass is limited to the cafeteria menu. The co-op handles food such as boxed lunches and beverages not only at cafeterias but also at stores where it is purchased. I would like to make it a system that supports eating. We would like to help alleviate congestion even a little by promoting the spread of dining and purchasing.
Lastly, we would like to consult with you individually about how to deal with union members who do not have a smartphone and who are currently using a school cafeteria pass.
We believe that it is necessary to consider usage and payment methods other than smartphones systematically.
