For more than 25 years, School-Link Technologies (SL-Tech) has developed innovative solutions to support financial and nutritional accountability in K-12 school districts. Founded in 1983 as SNAP Systems, SL-Tech now operates as an integral member of Heartland School Solutions, a division of Heartland Payment Systems dedicated to supporting K-12 school systems and the largest provider of K-12 foodservice technology.

From the beginning, SL-Tech has focused on providing solutions that drive improved, efficient business process and operations in our nation’s schools. Innovation is at the core of all that we do, and we pioneered many concepts that have since become industry standards for school nutrition programs: "fast-food-style" terminals, integrated Back of the House systems, online payments, and more.

SL-Tech provides a holistic and collaborative approach to operating a successful school foodservice program with robust, reliable solutions for busy administrators and directors that include:

• Technology for:
  • Point of Sale
