Navigate Campus Dining with helpful tech tools
With the start of the new academic year, Vanderbilt Campus Dining has many technology platforms available to help them navigate dining on campus. Here is a quick run-down of some of the most helpful tools:
What’s cooking and what’s open
NetNutrition is Vanderbilt’s mobile-optimized menu website, providing on-the-spot nutrition details for all menu items served throughout the Campus Dining network. Discover ingredients and allergen information and calculate nutrition information, in addition to learning which dining halls are open. Available online at vu.edu/menus.
Find the best time and place to eat
It’s frustrating when you head out to eat only to get there and find it’s way too crowded.
Now, if you want to see how busy Rand, Rothschild or other dining halls are before you visit, there’s a new place to find live crowd data! Introducing Waitz – Vanderbilt’s privacy-friendly capacity monitoring system that lets you know where the crowds are in any dining hall. Visit waitz.io/vandydining or download the Waitz app for free on iPhone or Android.
