Lynchburg, Va.'s Liberty University has announced the launch of self-order kiosks in three of its campus dining locations, just in time for the start of the school year.
 | LU Dining is introducing Webfood, a Web-based ordering service. Complete with touchscreens, card readers and receipt printers, Webfood kiosks take orders and act as cashiers, which will decrease lines for customers. Kiosk orders are transmitted to dining staff, who can begin preparing the meals immediately. The system boasts that a full meal can be ordered in 10 seconds or less. |  |
The university says students also can use the Webfood kiosk to view nutritional information, meal deals and favorite orders, and that school dining administrators can use the platform to edit menu items and prices and track trends and customer feedback. The university plans to eventually expand the service to include online ordering, so students can order a meal from any computer and pick it up at their convenience.
