Dining Connect
One app for the university dining journey 
What is open, nearby, and relevant now 
A meal tray with nutrition context
Campus dining in a student’s pocket
Dining Connect brings the full campus dining journey into one mobile app. Students can see what is open, explore locations and daily menus, understand ingredients and allergens, follow nutrition, and keep up with events or specials without piecing together several university systems.
Useful in the moment
The product is designed for short, context-heavy sessions: finding a nearby venue between classes, checking exception hours, comparing dishes, or confirming that a meal fits a dietary need. Maps, search, favorites, schedules, and notifications shorten those paths while preserving the detail behind each answer.
From a dish to a day
The meal tray turns individual menu decisions into a useful daily view. Students can review nutrients against personal goals and keep preferences consistent across visits. QR sync, widgets, Live Activities, and campus alerts extend the experience beyond the main navigation.
The result
A branded dining companion for iOS and Android that stays connected to the same operational source of truth as the university website and dining team.
