How does Food Court work?

As Easy as 1, 2, 3...

1. Sign up: Provide Campus Special with your menu, hours and delivery details.
2. Get online: We market your restaurant to students via our coupon books, email, Facebook and mobile channels.
3. Students order online: Students build their order and choose their method of payment. We then process the order for you.
4. Receive orders: You can receive orders by fax, email, telephone, or through a real time order console. Each order will show customer information, ordered items, delivery or take out, and payment status.
5. You prepare the order and deliver it or ready it for take out.
6. Get paid: you will receive a weekly statement and deposit via electronic funds transfer. We bring students to your business.

Do I need to have my own website to be able to accept online orders?

Absolutely not! The only thing you need is a working fax machine and fax line or a phone. All you have to do to get started is to provide us with your menu, hours, and delivery zone and leave the rest up to us. We process all your orders for you and we also market your restaurant to students via our coupon books, e-mail, Facebook and mobile! If you do have your own website, you can also participate in our affiliate program where you can add a link on your site that will direct students to your Food Court page on CampusSpecial.com.

Is there a monthly fee to be on Food Court?

No. Campus Special Food Court will not charge you a monthly fee!

Do students have to pay to use Food Court?

Absolutely not! Unlike other sites, students do not pay any service fees. Campus Special is in the business of saving students money!

How do I receive online orders?

Once a student submits an order, Food Court immediately sends the order into your store via fax, phone, email, or through a real time order console on your account. Each order will show order details, delivery or take out, and payment status.
