A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Currently PantherDining does not have a formal methodology for local purchases. As a University, we strive to encourage community based purchases at all times. We are currently working with our purchasing/inventory software (FoodPro) in conjunction with vendors to tag local and community based purchases as well sustainable purchases to make that data available to our GSU Community via our website.
While our short term goal is go get this module running for both dining halls by Dec. 2015, in the next year we are looking to expand the module to accommodate our catering, concessions and retail operations.
