Cashless payment system is one of the most significant improvements in food service and is transforming today's quick service especially for campus or high school cafeteria. There are several medium for cashless payment system which include using smart cards or credit cards and biometric technologies. There are many problem associated with smart cards and credit cards technologies since people might forget the password. With cards to identify a person, whoever has possession of the card can again access. Biometric technologies have its different features to remedy this problem. A biometric system cannot be implemented the same way as one utilizing password since there will be no physical items. One reason a biometric system is valuable is in the way it authenticate users. A biometric system offers levels of physical security, integrity and confidentiality. This research focuses on the development of Cashless Payment System for UTP Cafeteria using fingerprint recognition, a system which enables students to make payment for foods that they purchased using the touch of their finger. Intensive research and literature review had been done in order to obtain as much information to develop the project. Surveys had been done over some group of students to obtain data on their feedback regarding the development of the system. The project will solve problems that arise from the cash based system which is currently used by all cafe owners in UTP.
