Catering Management for Universities: Making Food Fun, Finding Ordering Efficiencies, Sustainable Practices, and Supporting Local Suppliers
E&I Host:
Dennis Hyde, E&I Category Marketing Manager
Guest:
Andrew Silbiger, CEO and Co-Founder of America To Go
In this latest Cooperatively Speaking podcast, Dennis Hyde connects with Andrew Silbiger, CEO and co-founder of America To Go. America To Go connects members to a broad network of approved caterers and restaurants on a single customized platform. This allows your institution to conveniently create catering orders supported by 24/7 customer service. From search to payment, America To Go automates the entire food ordering and catering process.
Although we may not think about it, catering involves risk, compliance issues, and time for vendor vetting. Food and catering are pricey commodities, and often cost efficiencies are not monitored well, or at all. America To Go can help institutions with catering management, support local businesses, save time and cost, and lessen risk. America To Go can also help schools focus on sustainability and supplier diversity goals during the catering and ordering process.
