Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Implements Agilysys Point of Sale & Cloud-Native Contactless Food Service Management Solutions
Agilysys, Inc., a global provider of next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, announced that Rochester Institute of Technology has implemented the Agilysys InfoGenesis ecosystem of modern cloud-native SaaS POS solutions for its campus dining and sports facilities to streamline operations while promoting social distancing through contactless self-service options for students, faculty and guests.
RIT is a privately endowed, co-educational non-profit university comprised of nine colleges occupying 1,300 acres in suburban Rochester, NY. Current enrollment on the campus is approximately 18,600 students from all 50 states and more than 100 nations, and there are approximately 3,800 full time and part time employees, including 1,500 faculty members. Food and beverage outlets across the campus include nearly 20 RIT Dining Services Units made up of coffee shops, eateries, food stores, and campus catering.
When electing to replace their existing food service systems, RIT evaluated a number of technology vendors to determine their ability to deliver proven solutions coupled with continuous innovation and a commitment to the higher education market. Agilysys stood out with a comprehensive SaaS product set that included the InfoGenesis SaaS POS system complemented by a set of innovative, modern cloud-native self-service ordering and payment options, bolstered by Agilysys’ commitment to robust and ongoing product R&D.
“RIT is excited about our relationship with Agilysys,” said John LaFrance, Assistant Director, Retail Systems at Rochester Institute of Technology. “Their ability to provide the flexible, industry-leading POS solutions we need to meet our requirements across all of our dining services while protecting the health and safety of our students, faculty and guests is a winning combination.”
