Editorial : Change from Campusfood to GrubHub can be beneficial for students

Campusfood was bought out and expanded by GrubHub during Spring Break. Some students expressed dissatisfaction at having to transfer information from one site to another, but GrubHub holds potential for users.

GrubHub is a larger company than Campusfood and can offer more restaurants. The company is located in 50 cities and on more than 400 college campuses. GrubHub does not charge a service fee for users and also has a free mobile app so users can order on the go.

GrubHub also has a much more personalized interface than CampusFood. Users can type in the cuisine they are looking for. GrubHub also saves previous orders and allows users to mark restaurants or specific orders as favorites.

Users do have to transfer credit card information over when moving from Campusfood to GrubHub, but it is explained on the website the measure is to protect private information.

GrubHub also provides incentives and prizes for ordering food. Users were offered a coupon for switching over, and users have a chance to win free food for a year or win some other kind of prize after every three orders. But the prize or upgrade is not guaranteed like the points system on Campusfood.



In the end, GrubHub is just another way to order food. Although it may take some getting used to for students, the end result is the same.
