Royal Agricultural University Partners With Lolly

Hospitality Technology Specialist To Enhance Campus Catering With New POS And Digital Solutions

‍

The Royal Agricultural University (RAU), a leading institution dedicated to agricultural education and innovation, has partnered with Lolly, the hospitality technology specialist, to upgrade and modernise its campus catering services.

As part of the rollout, Lolly has installed six EPoS terminals with integrated payment systems, three Lolly Move devices, and the Lolly App. The PoS systems have been implemented across the university’s RAU Restaurant, The Atrium Café, The Atrium Shop, and three campus bars.

The introduction of Lolly’s fully integrated digital solution is designed to streamline day-to-day operations, reduce service times, and deliver a better user experience for both staff and students. By combining fixed EPoS tills, mobile EPoS devices, and app-based ordering, RAU is investing in a future-proof hospitality setup that offers efficiency and flexibility.

Commenting on the new partnership, Ryan Hanson, Director of Campus Experience at the Royal Agricultural University, said: "We had been looking to update our POS for some time, and getting the project underway had its challenges. Once we engaged with Lolly, many of the complexities we anticipated quickly became straightforward. From the outset, there was clear alignment and understanding, which reassured stakeholders and made the build and onboarding process smooth and efficient. We are delighted with the results so far and are excited to explore the additional possibilities that the app rollout and new commercial opportunities will bring.”

Paul Markey, Head of Sales & Accounts at Lolly, added: “Further & Higher Education is a core focus for us at Lolly. We’ve built a deep understanding of the sector’s needs and are thrilled to be working with the Royal Agricultural University. This partnership ensures RAU has the right technology in place to meet today’s demands while giving them the flexibility to grow and adapt in the future. We’re excited about this partnership and the opportunities it brings.”

The collaboration marks a new chapter for RAU as it continues to evolve and modernise its student experience, underpinned by the latest hospitality technology.
