The Challenge
Jacksonville State University is an NCAA Division 1 school. In the Track & Field and Cross Country Programs, 40–50 student-athletes participate in a 6–7 month long season. Jacksonville State University orders meals for up to 45 student athletes for every away game. Keeping student-athletes well fed on the road while also staying on budget is no easy feat.
Difficulty sourcing food
Weekly meets in different cities meant student athletes were often stuck eating fast-food and cold cuts.
Challenges tracking expenses
Coaches had to keep track of paper receipts and spend time creating complicated expense reports.
Tax-exempt status
It was a hassle to submit tax-exempt certificates to every restaurant where they placed an order
Having access to local caterers that I would have no other way of finding out about has been really helpful… The athletes are able to have a real meal as opposed to stopping at another fast food restaurant. Wherever I go, I am going to make sure we use ezCater.
