A new app has launched on campus that will serve as an easy access guide for students.

Metz Culinary Management released an app called “Metz @ LVC,” which will provide students with a variety of data. The app includes student opinions of the meals they are eating with 1 to 5 star ratings, a menu for each meal of the day and a log-in option where students can view meal plans and flex balances.

“The app was a student idea to get information from Metz to the student body in a user-friendly form,” Tim Hartlieb, Metz operations manager, said. “It was championed by students and turned into a student project.”

Before going to eat their meal, students can now check the menu available for the day with the click of their phones, as well as any special promotions Metz runs.

It was important for the information to be available to the students in an effective manner. Improvements to the app are also expected.

“It will be able to handle nutritional information and allergies to food so that students can plan their meals in advance if they have any allergy or diet restrictions,” Hartlieb said.

As of now, the new developments are still in progress with the integration of the Metz recipe database, but the app is available to download to students and faculty.
