Optimizing the student dining experience with Tapingo

Andrew Hudson   ||   Dec 07, 2018  ||   ,

Tapingo is a mobile food ordering app geared toward the college and university space. Hear from the company's director of business development, Ben Anderson, as he delves into the features of the service and how students can benefit from mobile ordering in today's campus environment.

The company is now under the umbrella of Grubhub following a definitive agreement that sees Grubhub acquire Tapingo for approximately $150 million. Prior to the acquisition, Tapingo has established more than 200 campus partnerships and supports tens of thousands of student mobile transactions each day. Tapingo has also amassed more than half a million active users at on-campus cafes, restaurants, and cashier-less stores nationwide.

The acquisition of Tapingo will see the company’s mobile network paired with Grubhub’s existing restaurant marketplace and delivery capabilities to bring greater convenience to students and assist campus restaurants in capitalizing on pickup and delivery orders.
