The Daily Bruin

For the first time ever, we are able to add meal plans for graduate students!

If you are interested in adding either of our “Block Plans” or another meal plan, please email housing@georgefox.edu and we will get it set up within one business day for you to start getting food!

The Bridge Cafe is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and so should be available during your hours on campus.

Part of being able to offer graduate meal plans is our new app: GET mobile. The app is used over 500 times daily by our undergraduates to order and pick up meals and beverages to go.

If you would like to use the app to order food to go, follow these instructions:

• Download the “GET Mobile app” by searching your phone’s app store for GET MOBILE
  • The app is grey and says “GET.”
• Launch the app and find George Fox University from the list of schools
• Enter your George Fox username and password
• It may ask you to enter your email and phone number
  • A phone number is required to notify you when your order is ready
• Land on the Dashboard, with a (1) Accounts, (2) Transactions, and (3) Order section
• Add a credit card or debit card on file when making your first order
• To place an order select “Start an Order”
• Choose the Bridge Cafe
• Place your order
  • Some options can be preordered and some can only be ordered for ASAP (weekly rotating menu in Canyon Commons)
• View your cart and select your payment method
  • You can add a card during your first order

When you get the notification that your order is ready, you can pick it up at the station right outside the Bridge Café. No waiting in line!
