Small colleges often face big challenges when it comes to campus dining. Limited staff, tight budgets, and high student expectations make it tempting to turn to convenient, off-the-shelf options like Grubhub Campus or third-party delivery apps. These platforms promise quick implementation and familiar interfaces—but are they really the best long-term fit for your campus?
At first glance, Grubhub or similar services seem like a win. Students already know how to use them. The tech is plug-and-play. But look closer, and the cracks begin to show.
Off-the-shelf apps weren't built for education; they were built for restaurants. That means your dining data, student preferences, meal plan structures, and operational needs get squeezed into a system that was never designed for them. The result? You might get online ordering, but you sacrifice the deeper visibility and control you really need to run a successful campus dining program.
Here’s where the industry’s best solution stands apart:
Unlike one-size-fits-all platforms, FullCount Education is built for higher education. Our customers get an intuitive Point of Sale system that integrates directly with student accounts, handles meal plans with precision, and supports real-time reporting across every dining location—without locking you into third-party data silos.
And because we don’t just “bolt on” to your dining program, our solution scales with your team and evolves with your needs—whether you’re adding grab-and-go spots, managing dietary restrictions, or planning for growth.
Off-the-shelf might be good enough for now. But when you’re ready for something better—something built for education—we're here to help.
