StarChef.NET helps Imago Services at Loughborough University serve up a healthy meal to its students.

Imago Services, the team behind food and accommodation at Loughborough University, famed for its sporting excellence, have launched an innovative approach to providing nutritional information to their students. Using StarChef.NET the Imago team have carefully compiled menus for each of the Halls of Residence and StarChef.NET has calculated a nutritional value for each and every meal. Working with Imago and their web design consultants, Starlogic went about creating a link to show students visiting the Imago site what food they could expect to see on the menu and what the nutritional values would be, all from the comfort of their armchairs. To see the result, which updates automatically every day, visit the Imago website at http://campuslife.lboro.ac.uk/.

The Imago team now have exciting plans to make even more available to their students and Starlogic are proud to be working with them to achieve their goals.
