Using an ARM machine

Students use an electronic payment method, remove whatever items they desire, and are automatically charged by the machine without a cashier's intervention. This is possible due to the good will and behavior of our community. The location is video monitored as the machine is also accessible by the public. Tampering of and theft from the machine is not tolerated.

Electronic payment methods include college Declining Card Balance funds, major credit cards and major contactless smart payment apps.

Please contact becky.mains@cafebonappetit.com regarding machine customer service issues.
