Campus Kitchen App

The brand-new Campus Kitchen app for food and non-alcoholic drinks has officially launched and is valid across all food outlets across the UEA campus. 

The new app is available on both Apple and Android app stores. Pre-order your lunch from Zest, grab a slice from Eat@BarSU, and save extra on your Ziggy’s coffee – all through the new Campus Kitchen app.

Staff, students, parents and guests can link any bank card (including all international bank accounts) to their account to top up the app with their budget for the week and then scan the unique QR code, assigned to each individual customer upon registration, in any Campus Kitchen outlets to pay. Keep a track of your balance with a quick glance at the home screen and load up extra credit at the click of a button, to keep yourself fed and hydrated all term long.

The hot drink stamp card has also been improved – you now only need to buy six hot drinks to get your seventh one free! Stamp cards include all hot drinks, so for those who prefer their drinks without caffeine or with a little more chocolate, you can still collect stamps and redeem full stamp cards on your favourite drinks.

 

Looking to get some money back on your purchases?

We’ve still got our points scheme running, so you’ll receive additional credit in your account once you’ve hit the value threshold. So when you spend a little, you’ll get a little back too.

 

Click & Collect service

A Click & Collect service has also launched in Zest and Eat@BarSU to ensure you can order online and collect in the outlet. Whether you decide on pizza from the bar or a burrito from Zest, you can still continue to collect points on all purchases made on the app.

Loyalty rewards can be redeemed in Blend, Vista, Ziggy’s, Zest, Unio, Caffeine Helpdesk, Atrium Café, Grain, Eat@BarSU, Cafe57, Sportscafe, Quadram Café, Bob Champion and Modern Life Café.
