iBonus Terminals were used as payment terminal in canteen and laundry. At the beginning of each month, the some credit is added to the soldier’s card. iBonus Terminals were customized to automatically deduct the amount and meal purchasing/laundry using quota in the cards when the soldier’s card is presented to the terminal with out help of any staff. For catering, iBonus Terminal will deduct the right amount of money corresponding to the time when the breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper is respectively sold.
