Ohio State University
goes online with NetCatering from CBORD
Online catering and
event management to drive convenience and accuracy
Monday, January 14, 2008
Ithaca, New York:
The CBORD Group, Inc., a leading provider of food
service and catering management software, is pleased to
announce that Ohio State University in Columbus, OH, has
chosen to implement NetCatering®, CBORD’s
online catering and event management solution. The
web-based system will help the school achieve its
institutional goal of improving student accessibility to
university services, and will also simplify its catering
operations.
Ohio
State researched online catering tools in an effort to
improve productivity in managing its many catering
orders. By enabling customers to view and edit event
information via the web, NetCatering handles much of the
work required to book events, allowing catering staff to
focus on the “big picture” of catering operations and
customer service.
Already a
user of the Foodservice Suite® and
EventMaster® PLUS!
food service and catering management software
packages from CBORD®, Ohio State will now be
able to share information between the platforms,
ensuring up-to-date information. The solutions also
support the creation of catering “packages,” allowing
users to quickly recreate the details of recurring
events, rather than entering the same information time
and again.
“We took
our time and researched numerous online ordering
solutions and software companies, and CBORD came out
ahead,” says Larry Moore, Director of Catering,
Ohio State University. “With
NetCatering, our large student population, faculty, and
staff will have 24/7 access to online event management
software, and can place most orders themselves. The
integration between Foodservice Suite, EventMaster
PLUS!,
and NetCatering will make running our business as
seamless as technologically possible, allowing us to
focus on great food and great customer service.”
“Today’s
consumers demand online convenience, and Ohio State is
serious about delivering this level of accessibility and
efficiency to the university community at large,"
says Randy Eckels, Senior
Vice President, Sales and Marketing, The CBORD Group,
Inc. “NetCatering gives consumers the power to book and
edit catered events from the comfort of their own
computers, while also reducing catering staff workloads.
We are very pleased to assist Ohio State in taking its
already successful catering operations to the next
level.”
Ohio
State University currently enrolls 60,347 students, and
has annual catering revenues of $1.7 million.
