Project Description
Rada – Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts App
RADA was established in 1904 by renowned actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in rooms above His Majesty’s Theatre in the West End: an academy founded by the industry for the industry.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) offers vocational training for actors, stage managers, designers and technical stagecraft specialists. They pride themselves on the exceptional standard of their facilities, technology, teaching and productions, and the personalisation of our training tailored to the needs of each student.
Rada App Development
We worked with Rada to develop an app to work in the Rada Bar and the Rada Refectory. Students can collect reward points to spend on items such as Free Coffee. Students can also load the app with pre-paid credit, bursary credits can automatically be applied to Bursary Students, and in the Rada Refectory users can scan to basket with the self service food area is and pay at the checkout with either card or credits.
Rada Loyalty Rewards
Collect Reward Points
Rada Students can collect reward points on food and drink to spend on items such as Free Coffee.
Benefits of Loyalty Points
By offering the students of Rada loyalty will keep them purchasing food and drinks from either the Rada Bar or Rada Refectory outlet for the end goal of collecting enough points to be rewarded with a free drink.
Reward Points at the POS
Reward points can be added and redeemed at the Point of Sale with our Smart Ordering App. Allowing students to collect and redeem points who have placed direct orders rather than through the app.

Scan to Basket
We have developed a Scan to Basket option for The Rada Refectory which is a Canteen / Self Service Food outlet. Students can scan the food as they go. In the Smart Restaurants Admin Panel the managers can create and print barcodes for all food sold, and create and print new barcodes for items made on site to scan such as ‘Soup of the Day’.
Student Benefits
The Students and Staff can scan as they go which saves time at the POS, they can also pay for the food using the app using credit card / or online credit once scanned at the POS and the operator will see the food as been paid for and can do a quick check if necessary.
Vouchers & Credit
Digital Wallet Vouchers
- Students can buy vouchers / credit to be used within the app.
- Parents can top-up App
- Gift A Coffee to Friends
E-Voucher
Users can purchase credit to spend within the app against food items. This also means Students Parents can pre-load their app if the want to make sure their children are eating Healthy meals onsite. You can also use this system to offer a £10 Voucher with £11 Credit giving the user a 10% discount and you a pre-sale of £10.
Gift a Coffee Voucher
Customers can purchase a Coffee Voucher and Gift it to a Friend. If the user does not have the app they will be sent an email to downlad the app to claim their Coffee. This is a good way for Students to share Coffee on Friends Birthdays, or insentives good be set by Tutors to gift Coffees to students doing well.
Rada Student Bursary Credit
Rada had a dilemma where they were physically handing out cash to their bursary students who would end up not spending the money on food within Rada and potentially spending it on drink and cigarettes rather than the substantial meals within the Rada Bar and Rada Refectory. We developed the Bursary module where students are allocated an allowance to spend within the food facilities within Rada.
By managing the bursary through the app you are not having to give students physical cash and can be added at the start of each term. This also means students can only spend their bursary through the School Canteen, Cafe which means the school gains food and drink sales.
