As students head back to school, one of the largest payment processors in the world is fighting to protect the millions it makes upcharging parents on school meals.
Schools (and government entities in general) really need to invest on setting up their own apps and programs for things like this. So much public school money gets wasted on paying for access to buggy and poorly maintained systems.
I work in a public school and it’s so frustrating to know a company is making bank for offering a mediocre middle man app, it hurts the Schools budget, the students, and in this case the families of all those students.
