CBORD welcomes the University of Washington University purchases Foodservice Suite to improve margins and efficiency

Ithaca, New York: The CBORD Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that the University of Washington recently selected the company as its foodservice technology provider. The university purchased Foodservice Suite®, a modular software package designed to improve margins and increase customer and employee satisfaction by automating campus foodservice operations.

The University of Washington’s use of Foodservice Suite includes modules for menu management, inventory management (including PDA-enabled data entry for onsite inventory tracking), CBORD’s nutrient database, nutritional accounting, event management, and interfaces for order transmissions to outside vendors, point-of-sale terminals, and accounts payable. The school is also a user of CBORD’s Odyssey HMS™ housing management system, including its Judicial module.

The University of Washington was honored in 2003 by the National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) with the Loyal E. Horton award in recognition of its eclectic and innovative food court, the Husky Den.
