The Caf App
revolutionizing higher-ed food service
For Students
The Caf App provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive interface for students to view meal hours, see menus, rate their experiences, find other dining on campus, and much more.
For Administrators
Advanced statistical dashboards and access to raw meal and rating data allows administrators to make informed decisions regarding their campus' food service experience.
Custom Theming
A custom yourschool.thecaf.app web address for your school's Caf App, along with fonts, colors, and other theming to match your brand.
Universal App
The Caf App being a PWA (Progressive Web App) means that it looks and feels just like a normal app, but isn't subject to App Store fees and is also accessible from any device with a web browser.
Meal Rating & Tracking
Keep a complete history of meals and track ratings over time in order to serve your student body with maximum satisfaction.
Data Dashboard
View your campus' meal and rating history in an easy-to-use dashboard for administrators, and easily create new menus manually or on a recurring schedule.
Announcements
Make announcements regarding food service as well as general campus notifications, viewable in the client app.
Web Embed & API
The Caf App by default includes a free embed script and API that lets you access any Caf App data from anywhere on your school's website, and even easily place the menu anywhere on the web.
About the App
The Caf App started at Mississippi College in 2022 as a side project from Micah Lindley, a computer science student who wanted to improve the way students accessed the cafeteria menu. Over the next year, flagship features like ratings, profiles, data history, and much more were added to the app. The Caf App will be made available to other schools in 2026.
