In today’s education environments, smooth, reliable service is essential for keeping students and staff moving. Lolly tech gives catering teams the tools to streamline operations, reduce pressure during peak times and deliver a modern experience that matches the expectations of digitally confident learners. You will feel like a winner when your queues are shorter, your service is faster and your teams have more time to focus on quality rather than workload. From robotics to self serve, digital signage, EPoS and mobile ordering, Lolly supports campuses in creating efficient, future ready catering that works across busy timetables and multiple service points.
Do more with Lolly Nova
Our sector-leading service robot offers you a unique way to enhance service efficiency throughout your campus. With the ability to hold more than a human waiter, it moves precisely through crowded spaces, delivering meals quickly during peak periods and freeing staff to focus on meaningful interactions with students. Late lectures? Not a problem- its ability to extend service hours without additional staffing helps you to operate more sustainably and cost-effectively, while adding that modern touch for a tech-forward campus.
Become hassle-free with our digital signage
Gone are the days of wiping your chalk boards every time you change from breakfast to lunch, and lunch to dinner. The jump in digital signage innovation has provided complete creative freedom for vendors looking to utilise their company’s unique branding with swift, smooth time-sensitive changes. Hassle-free, Lolly’s digital signage integrates seamlessly with both EPoS and kitchen management systems (KMS), keeping menus, promotions, and order status updated in real time. With no practical limit to the number of screens you can connect, we will scale with you and your campus.
Increase your order throughput with Lolly EPoS
If you want a fast, reliable and scalable point-of-sale platform to handle the complexity of multi-site catering, Lolly EPoS is the solution. Built for high-throughput environments, it enables quicker, more efficient transactions that keep queues moving during peak student footfall. As seen at Durham University, our Mobile EPoS supports pop-up locations across campuses, while cloud-based management tools give catering teams real-time visibility of sales, stock and operational performance.
Tackle high footfall peaks with Lolly self-serve
Particularly effective where footfall peaks between lectures, Lolly’s kiosks reduce queues by allowing multiple students to order simultaneously, with clear on-screen menus that cut down errors and support allergen-safe ordering. Upsell prompts help your institution increase your average spend, while flexible payment options meet the expectations of a digitally native student-base. Fitting seamlessly across your campus environment, you can extend service hours without expanding staffing during those busy student periods.
Move forward with the Lolly App
The student base is increasingly looking for convenience at their fingertips, and the Lolly App caters for their growing digital expectations. Students can pre-order, collect, request table delivery and pay through a single interface, while also accessing full nutritional, allergen and CO₂ information to support informed choices. While the student experience is heightened, your institution will also benefit from loyalty programmes, push‑notification marketing and detailed behavioural insights, helping drive repeat visits and support wellbeing initiatives.
Education catering faces constant demand, tight time frames and diverse dietary needs, and the right technology can transform how smoothly each day runs. Lolly brings together smart, connected tools that help you manage footfall peaks, keep menus accurate and give students a seamless ordering experience wherever they are on campus. With a partner who understands the unique pressures of educational environments, you can keep service efficient, consistent and ready for whatever each term brings.
