Hi Kevin,?
I’d love to set up a zoom call soon to chat – as Jason said, we’re working with both of those, the lockers and pantrysoft, so would be glad to talk to you about how we have it set up.

Hi and good morning Kevin. I’ll reach out to you about a great solution we have that might help in conjunction with PantrySoft and would recommend connecting with Phil Smith from Rutgers if you haven’t already.

This would allow clubs and orgs to post that leftover food is available towards the end of their event, when it will be thrown out, the locations, and other relevant details. We have seen some campuses use their LMS for programs…
