USEFULL vs CafCast

Ditch the plastic. Track your impact. Join the reuse movement. USEFULL is your campus’ 100% plastic-free reusable takeout program. Instead of single-use containers, you’ll borrow durable stainless steel ones—just like checking out a library book. It’s fast, free (as long as you return on time), and better for the planet and your health (no dangerous microplastics). Download the app to start checking out containers at participating locations. Here’s how it works: 1. Request a reusable container from dining staff for your takeout meal. 2. Use the USEFULL app to check it out; simply scan the QR code on the base of the container. 3. When you’re done, return the container by scanning it back in at a return station. Key app features: - Use the QR code scanner to check out containers - Get due date reminders - Track your personal environmental impact - Reference community rules for your reusables - Find checkout and return stations near you - Manage late fees and payment options - Access 24/7 customer support USEFULL is completely free as long as containers are returned on time. Our tracking technology makes reuse easy and enables a 99% return rate. That means our high-quality containers can be used again and again, without generating waste.

Is it worth the walk to Stav Hall? CafCast helps you find out. During every meal, students rate what they're eating, and each dish shows up as worth it, fine, or one to skip. The board updates as votes come in, so you know what's good before you get in line. • See what Stav is serving at every meal, even before it opens. • Open the app and see how every dish is doing, no vote needed. • Loved it, Fine, or Nope. One tap, plus a vibe if you want. • See the top dishes and how everyone voted on each one. • Keep a streak: rate a dish each day Stav is open and watch your calendar fill in. • Between meals, browse the next menu by station and see what people liked last time. • Get a notification when each meal opens, and a heads-up when a dish you loved is back. There's no sign-up and no account to make. You can only vote while a meal is being served, so every rating comes from someone who's actually eating it. You can delete your data any time from the info button. CafCast is an independent student app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by St. Olaf College or Bon Appétit Management Company. Menus and hours come from Bon Appétit's public Stav Hall menu.
