CBORD, a provider in campus card and foodservice technology, is partnering with Tacit, a digital ordering provider, to further broaden digital ordering in education while streamlining payment management services across school campuses, according to a press release.

Tacit now offers its foodservice ordering opportunities to many campus professionals and students through integration with the CBORD platform. Using Tacit kiosk ordering stations, higher education facilities can now offer streamlined ordering and food pickup while using CBORD systems to accept payment via meal plans or campus cards.

The convenience of the blended effort of Tacit and CBORD offers a seamless and on-demand experience for students and campus visitors.

For campus foodservice providers, Tacit delivers a omnichannel ordering strategy and helps to ensure that guests have a positive experience. For example, users who want or need to order food and beverages online can now use their CBORD campus credentials to preorder and prepay through Tacit and choose to pick up their order or have it delivered.

Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, partnered with Tacit to implement the CBORD and Tacit integrated platform to streamline payments at the university's self-service kiosks so students, staff and visitors are able to use their campus cards to pay for orders.

"Students and campus visitors continue to demand self-service options and a convenient experience when it comes to campus dining," Jeff Wood, vice president of marketing and product at CBORD, said in the release.
