Grubhub makes ordering food on the go easier
Tapingo, an online food-ordering service, has been replaced by Grubhub after being acquired by the latter. The change allows students to use the Grubhub app for both on-campus and off-campus food orders. The university assures that the same team and systems are still in place, just under a different brand. The transition aims to provide students with a more convenient and seamless food-ordering experience. The system allows students to place orders through the app, which are then received by on-campus food locations as tickets. Students are notified when their food is ready for pickup. The university is actively seeking feedback from students to improve the applications convenience.

Campus dining has significant increase in the use of Tapingo since its implementation
Tapingo, a smartphone app that allows Auburn students to order food on-campus without waiting in line, has seen a significant increase in its user base. During the fall semester, Tapingo facilitated roughly 77,000 orders, and from the beginning of spring semester to mid-February, it processed 59,000 orders. The app has been well-received by students who want to avoid long lines at dining locations. However, some students have complained that they still have to wait at the location for their meal to be ready. Tapingo was recently purchased by GrubHub, which may bring new opportunities in the future. Auburn University is considering offering delivery services but is concerned about the cost and impact on the community aspect of dining.
