Vanderbilt University Dining Gains Visibility and Optimizes Production with StreamLine

Vanderbilt University Dining set out to eliminate the guesswork eroding their cost-per-meal (CPM) margins. By partnering with Topanga to deploy StreamLine, an AI-powered forecasting and waste prevention platform, and leveraging Illumia’s campus dining technology infrastructure, Vanderbilt transformed kitchen operations across seven residential dining halls.

The result: 5X ROI from food cost savings, a 53% reduction in food waste volume during the first year, and a data-driven culinary culture that continues to deepen.
