Loyola Marymount University, LMU Dining And Kiwibot Bring Robot Delivery Service to Campus
Now through Nov. 14, New Sodexo Bite App Subscribers May Take Advantage of $0 Food Delivery Fee at Two On-Campus Locations
LOS ANGELES, Ca., Nov. 1, 2021 – If you haven’t seen the newest four-wheeled residents on campus at Loyola Marymount University yet, chances are you will soon! Today, Loyola Marymount University, LMU Dining and Kiwibot have partnered to deliver hot, fresh meals anywhere on campus via nearly a dozen adorable, zero-emission robots. Since launching a trial run in September, more than 500 deliveries have been completed across campus.
Through the Sodexo Bite U app, Loyola Marymount students, faculty and visitors can order from two Sodexo-serviced campus locations, including Qdoba and Iggy’s Café using their meal plan dollars. The program will expand to additional locations in Spring 2022.
“We’re always looking for fun, innovative and eco-friendly food service programs to add to the LMU dining experience, and this partnership with Sodexo and Kiwibot is a perfect example of that. In addition, the Kiwibot experience is a fun and useful convenience for everyone to take advantage of. It will never be used to eliminate jobs or reduce labor needs within our dining facilities. In fact, the more successful the program, the more people we can hire to support the robots.”
“Our partnership with Kiwibot offers another safe, convenient option for users to get what they want, when they want it. We look forward to expanding it to many more locations in the coming months.”
