Campus supermarket Spar University plans to explore the options for delivering on campus. \u201cWe received feedback from customers asking us why we didn\u2019t offer that service. We are therefore investigating whether there\u2019s a market for it and whether it\u2019s logistically feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spar University on Woudestein campus.<\/span><\/p>

Imagine this situation: you\u2019re sitting in a lecture, you have a fifteen minute break, and you want to get some lunch, but the supermarket is on the other side of campus. With the long queues at peak times, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll be late getting back. So how do you get lunch?<\/p>\n

The Spar wants to see whether it can help by delivering on campus. \u201cAn intern is going to explore the options. Woudestein is big, the supermarket is busy and students are telling us they need a delivery service. We\u2019re going to investigate how we could organize it and whether enough people want it,\u201d says Kyra van Elswijk from Spar University<\/p>\n

Collection points<\/h2>

According to Van Elswijk, it probably won\u2019t be possible to deliver right into the building. \u201cBecause how will you find your customers with all those lecture halls and study places? We are thinking about delivering to the entrance of buildings, and we also want to see whether it\u2019s possible to create various collection points on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

How will the supermarket know that the student will actually collect their order? \u201cThe orders will probably run on our app and will be paid for in advance. If customers have paid, they\u2019ll come and collect it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students or staff wishing to contribute ideas can drop by the shop.<\/p>\n\n\t
