The trend toward mobile ordering is gaining traction on college campuses
Our study revealed that the biggest frustration for college students on campus is the inability to pay for tuition or food through a mobile device.
Campus ID News agrees, stating, "Mobile-driven experiences are becoming a deciding factor in the process of choosing which schools to attend."
Our research also confirms this, with 72% of students feeling the same way.
To stay up-to-date, colleges are now exploring mobile ordering for their college campuses to address this issue.
With dining programs becoming a significant recruitment tool and a deciding factor for students, it's the perfect time to consider joining the 206+ institutions and 1,973+ locations implementing Transact Mobile Ordering.

Transact Mobile Ordering case study
“Students love Mobile Ordering! It's new technology that increases the speed of service by placing their order next in queue…they just eat it up and keep the campus in the right direction in terms of innovation."
Jessica Buffington, Card Service Manager, University of North Georgia
University of North Georgia challenge:
The University of North Georgia needed a comprehensive solution that'd provide an effortless shopping experience for students while also streamlining back-office operations across all campus locations.
Being a long-time client of Transact, UNG wanted to incorporate a mobile ordering option that could easily integrate with their existing Transaction System.
UNG chose Transact because it was easy to use, had no advertising from outside vendors, and could be customized in-house without relying on a third party.
UNG deployed Transact Cloud Point-of-Sale (POS) and real-time Mobile Ordering across all 5 campuses:
In two months, UNG successfully implemented a single cloud-based Point of Sale (POS) solution that maximized efficiency for all campus locations and enhanced student convenience with real-time mobile ordering.
UNG's dining improvements increased service speed by 10–15 seconds per transaction, which led to a 15% increase in sales during the Fall semester of 2019.
