Texas A&M University selects CBORD®’s Foodservice Suite

For Immediate Release

Ithaca, New York—The CBORD Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that Texas A&M University in College Station, TX recently selected the company as its foodservice management technology provider. Texas A&M converted to the Foodservice Suite® modular software package on account of its flexible integration capabilities, user-friendly design, and superior client support.

Texas A&M uses Foodservice Suite to handle menu and recipe management and improve inventory control, reducing waste and increasing accuracy. The university also chose to implement CBORD's NetNutrition® online nutritional analysis program, along with its EventMaster® PLUS! catering and event management solution. Both products are fully integrated with Foodservice Suite, allowing employees and customers alike to enjoy a seamless user experience with the most up-to-date information.

Foodservice Suite is a leader in the college and university marketplace for improving margins and increasing customer and employee satisfaction by automating campus foodservice operations. The scalable software package supports functionality for menu management, recipe scaling, nutritional analysis, inventory management, purchasing, and much more. Furthermore, the system's tight integration with other CBORD offerings such as campus card systems, online ordering solutions, catering and event management software, and online nutritional analysis tools makes it easy for universities to see the "big picture" of auxiliary operations.

The purchase of Foodservice Suite is one of many strategic changes Texas A&M's foodservice operations have undergone for the purpose of improving student services under the leadership of Nadeem E. Siddiqui, Executive Director, Dining Services. In fact, the students at Texas A&M recently named Siddiqui Administrator of the Year in recognition of the dedication to student satisfaction he and his staff have displayed.

"We are excited to team up with The CBORD Group to advance and develop our dining program and to ensure the best dining program for our wonderful Aggie community," says Siddiqui.

"Mr. Siddiqui's team at Texas A&M has a long history of commitment to student services, and we are very pleased to assist them in refining their foodservice operations," says Randy Eckels, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, The CBORD Group, Inc. "Our user-friendly software automates back-end processes, allowing university employees to focus on the quality customer service Nadeem and his staff exhibit every day. We are glad to play a role in their success."

“[The CBORD representative] selected a range of dates and then clicked on a button to produce a Clery report. The staff was almost speechless -- they couldn't believe something that used to take days or even weeks now took just a couple of mouse clicks.”
