Juvenes and Winpos Driving the Future of Payments
– Digitalization, Self-Service and Sustainability in Focus
Juvenes Oy serves approximately 11,000 students and 4,000 staff diners daily across Finland. Managing such a large customer base requires efficient and user-friendly solutions – especially for payments. In this development, Winpos has been a key partner. – We operate around 40 self-service checkouts in 24 different restaurants and cafés. We monitor their usage by comparing sales with the restaurant’s total turnover and analyzing receipt volumes and user numbers on-site, says Oskari Uuppo, System and Product Management Specialist at Juvenes.
Students Identify Themselves via Tuudo App
Self-service checkouts have received mostly positive feedback from students, many of whom find the payment process faster.
Identification is done through the Tuudo student app: the student opens the app, scans their QR code, selects a lunch option, and pays. – Payment methods are becoming increasingly digital, and the younger generation is leading this change. The payment process must be faster and easier than ever, Uuppo explains.
Digital Receipts Replace Paper
Juvenes is introducing ReceiptHero, a Finnish service for digital receipts, helping both businesses and customers transition from paper to electronic receipts. – As payments become more digital, it’s natural for receipts to go online. Sustainability is a core value for Juvenes, and by switching to digital receipts we reduce paper use and promote environmentally friendly practices, Uuppo adds.
Continuous Development
Student dining remains at the heart of Juvenes’ operations, but the company is actively exploring opportunities to expand into new sectors. Checkout functions are continuously improved to make transactions as smooth as possible.
Winpos – A Flexible Partner
According to Juvenes, collaboration with Winpos has been excellent. – Our development proposals have been embraced, and Winpos has also proactively suggested ideas. Together, we’ve implemented several projects to enhance the checkout system. As Juvenes expands, Winpos has adapted and kept pace with changes. The cooperation has been flexible, and we’ve always found solutions together, Uuppo summarizes.
Winpos Sales Manager Jouni Mäkynen has been responsible for Juvenes from the start, playing a key role in developing its payment solutions. Both Uuppo and Mäkynen agree that modern payment is no longer just a technical process – it’s part of the customer experience. Self-service checkouts, digital receipts, and online ordering platforms are examples of how technology makes everyday life easier.
The partnership between Juvenes and Winpos demonstrates that open dialogue and joint development deliver tangible results – in efficiency, user experience, and sustainability. The future of payments will be faster, smarter, and more environmentally friendly – and that future is already underway.
