Student View

Students on this campus will now be made aware of the current occupancy levels within each dining hall so they can determine when is a good time for them to grab lunch and dinner.

Through a simple app on their phone, students here will now have clear answers to questions that include:

  • Is now a good time to go to the main cafe?

  • If the traffic is too high there for my schedule, where else can I go?

  • What is the least busy dining option on campus right now?

Operations View

On the operational side of things, the college’s dining operations team will leverage this data to measure cafe performance, inform staff scheduling, and assess strategies to improve participation and satisfaction.

Through our analytics portal, school administrators will have a view into such answers as:

  • Are service speeds fast enough to support a positive dining experience?

  • Are cleaning schedules frequent enough given the daily or hourly traffic at each dining hall?
