New App Allows for Online Dining Orders
Sodexo is now piloting the new Everyday app that will allow faculty, staff and students to order Einstein Bros. Bagels and Starbucks online.
The plan is to pilot this new app for the spring and do a campus-wide rollout in the fall.
The Everyday app allows users to order online and skip the line when it is ready. Apple Pay, credit/debit card and dining dollars are the current accepted methods of payment. Using dining dollars requires a meal plan. The option to combine meal swipes and dining dollars together is not available yet, but is a function planned for the next academic year.
John Stewart, director of Sodexo Dining Services, asks that people download the app and try it out with the understanding this is a pilot, and minor issues may arise. People testing the app last semester reported the basic ordering functionality was good, but Sodexo would like more people to use it to determine how it flows with customers at the counter and multiple orders coming in at the same time. They are asking for patience as further testing is conducted.
Compliments and concerns with the app can be shared directly with Stewart at John.Stewart2@sodexo.com.
The Everyday app is available at Apple App and Google Play stores. Search Everyday by Sodexo.
