At Boris 45
As a leading operator in institutional catering, Boris 45 faced a complex logistical challenge at the University of Vic. The varying schedules and staggered breaks of the university community made it incredibly difficult to operate a traditional dining service that was profitable, efficient, and capable of guaranteeing maximum meal freshness at all times.
The University of Vic needed to take a leap toward digitalization. They required an innovative solution that allowed for the asynchronous delivery of meals, ensuring that each user could pick up their dish in perfect condition, autonomously, and completely frictionless.
Boris 45 has transformed the food service at the University of Vic. The new ecosystem operates entirely autonomously, offering a fast and secure experience tailored to the real, dynamic pace of the campus.

Columat implemented a comprehensive ecosystem connecting Boris 45's booking software directly with our temperature-controlled Smart Lockers. This automates the entire flow—from the moment the provider drops off the meal until the student picks it up.
Refrigerated modules that preserve meals in optimal hygienic conditions, ensuring the cold chain is never broken.
The caterer deposits the orders efficiently, and the end user simply picks up their food by scanning a QR code whenever it suits them best.
Through Columat Manager, Boris 45 monitors the entire process: they know exactly who delivered the meal, what time it was collected, and the thermal status of each compartment.
Total elimination of physical payments on-site and staff interaction, creating a fast flow (no queues, no waiting, no staff) ideal for high-turnover spaces.
The Boris 45 case at the University of Vic proves that bringing culinary excellence to a 100% automated format is a reality. With Columat, the university canteen is no longer a bottleneck but a premium value-added service: sustainable, traceable, and designed around the true needs of students and professors. A genuine revolution in institutional catering.
