Just in time for fall registration, Gather has made grabbing your favorite food and drinks even easier!

The café now features online ordering and a new self-checkout kiosk powered by TOAST, making it faster and more convenient to order while you’re on campus.

Come give it a try this week, especially if you’re stopping by to register for fall classes!

Need a little help getting started? Just ask Jenna, Director of the Center for Academic Planning & Support, who gave TOAST a test run this week (and now has even more time to help you register for classes 😊). Ashley and Sharon from Gather are also happy to answer any questions or walk you through your first TOAST order.
