Oakland University students, faculty and staff can now pre-order food and beverages on campus using Boost, a convenient and contactless mobile app available on iOS and Android devices.
“This benefits the OU campus community by reducing or avoiding any wait time in lines or in shared spaces,” said Jacqui Moore, marketing manager for Chartwells Higher Education, OU’s food service partner.
After downloading the app and creating an account, users can search for Oakland University as their preferred location and add a payment option, such as a debit or credit card.
Boost allows users to view the on-campus eateries that are currently open, as well as various menu items that can be customized and ordered using the app.
“With Boost, food or beverages can be ordered from all of our retail spaces in the Oakland Center, as well as The Hive in Hillcrest Hall,” Moore said.
The app also allows users to select a time to pick up their order at a designated location on campus.
“Boost offers flexible pickup times that work around class or work schedules,” Moore said. “For example, students can schedule a pickup for when class is over.”
To begin using the Boost app, download it from the App Store or Google Play.
