Grubhub has helped foodies satisfy their food cravings more easily and quickly. What could be better than indulging in your favorite summertime desserts without leaving your house? Now, this food delivery platform is also helping the students at this college in Pennsylvania find ordering food to refresh their minds and bodies for more hours of work incredibly easier than ever before.
Lafayette College x Grubhub
It’s not that this school doesn’t have the technology to streamline its students’ food orders; in fact, the school is among the few in the world with an online ordering system. Who wants to wait in long queues in the school cafeteria and rush their meal for the next class, which is happening in a few minutes?
Yes, Lafayette College in Pennsylvania has an online food ordering system, but the school is taking things up a notch by using Grubhub to manage the food orders of its students.
“The Grubhub app will be integrated with all dining locations and be the new platform for placing mobile orders starting this fall,” Tony Williams, Lafayette College’s resident district manager of dining, stated in an email to the media “In addition, Pard dollars can be used at local establishments that accept Grubhub.”
So, it’s not as simple as students will order on the Grubhub app instead, which can even be more complicated. Instead, Grubhub will manage the school’s ordering platform.
Several students encountered many problems with the system before Grubhub’s takeover. For instance, there were “stability issues,” glitches, ordering time delays, and not allowing students to order. In other words, even if there’s technology like the computers nowadays in McDonald’s stores, it’s still like falling in a heavy line inside the cafeteria.
“It’s going to be changing the whole ordering system app,” stated Selina Zhu the chair of the Student Government’s dining committee.
Grubhub brings back Seamless
Grubhub sure knows what respect is all about. Seamless came in several years before Grubhub was founded, but Grubhub has renewed its partnership with the former.
The food delivery app recently announced that it is bringing back the New York City delivery platform, adding new visual branding elements, and promising a zero-fee service. That’s what you want, right?
“We completed a full brand audit when Grubhub joined with Wonder and found that there continues to be an unwavering brand preference for Seamless in New York City, bolstered by our long history serving city residents and the strength of our corporate ordering business,” Grubhub stated in its official statement. “In a time when the food delivery category has become more commoditized, there is clear value in the Seamless brand in New York City.”
Seamless was founded in 1999, and it was hailed as one of the world’s first online food delivery websites. No, the food delivery apps you have now are not the first ones to exist. Nearly a decade after Grubhub began in 2004, the two merged in 2013.
Seamless’ return also opens discount opportunities for restaurants like Di Fara Pizza, Han Dynasty, Thai Villa, Adel’s Famous Halal Food, and Katz’s Delicatessen.
