LOCATION SPOTLIGHT
Abel & Selleck Dining
Mobile only, by design
Abel and Selleck Dining Centers operate exclusively through mobile ordering — no walk-up counter, no cash register. This intentional model is what makes the 13% cost advantage possible at scale: every order is controlled, every portion is specified, and waste is structurally eliminated. Today, they are the two most popular dining destinations on campus, out of five total dining centers.
