CBORD Solutions for Online Ordering and Kiosk Software

Online and Kiosk Ordering

Webfood provides the latest in online ordering and self-order kiosk software to improve the service quality, efficiency, and profitability of college and university food service operations. Customer orders are accepted via a web-based interface, then transmitted to cooks for preparation, allowing dining managers to monitor the process and update menus as necessary. Webfood is fully integrated with CBORD’s campus card systems and MICROS POS terminals for PCI-compliant payment, product movement reporting, and automated menu management.

Off-Campus Commerce

Students don’t live according to campus borders—neither should a one-card program. Today’s students demand off-campus programs that allow them to use their campus ID cards as cashless payment options with area merchants. CBORD® Off-Campus Commerce programs make it easy to offer off-campus card services that students, parents, administrators, and merchants will love. Powered by the industry-leading UGryd® transaction processing engine and fully integrated with CBORD campus ID card systems, these programs offer proven ways to reduce total cost of ownership and drive university revenue while improving student services.

Retail Management Solutions

Retail management solutions from CBORD provide you with all the tools needed to manage any number of retail operations within your university. Campus retail operations are growing and these stores are providing students and staff with ever-increasing product choices. For many schools, retail business is an important revenue generator, as well as a way to improve student and employee satisfaction. With automation from CBORD, universities can manage anything from a single convenience store up to multiple sites and large regional operations. As your retail business grows, you need real-time information to manage inventory and sales. CBORD's retail solutions give you what you need to maximize revenue.
