Facial recognition software is to be used in UK schools to speed up the process of paying for lunches

The system, installed in nine sites in North Ayrshire, scans the faces of pupils at the tills in order to save time during the busy lunch hour. The company that installed the systems claim they are more Covid-secure and help speed up the queue, with each transaction now taking just five seconds,David Swanston, the managing director of CRB Cunninghams, the company that installed the systems, told the FT: ‘In a secondary school you have around about a 25 minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast throughput at the point of sale.
