Use your ICC ID for Food! You can simplify paying for your food with ICC’s new CafeCa$h initiative. The CafeCa$h program lets you pre-pay for cafeteria items using your student ID. Here’s how it works. Say you have $50 (or whatever amount) that you’re going to spend on food and other delectables in ICC’s cafeteria, Café Breve, or Birchwood Cafe. Go to any one of these areas, give them your money or your credit card or a personal check AND your ICC ID card, and ask the staff to apply your money to your CafeCa$h account. Next time you want to make a purchase at any of these locations, simply give them your college ID with the pre-paid amount on it. The cafeteria folks swipe your card and give you a receipt that tells you how much you have left on your ID. You can even get a total history of your transactions! Use your student ID card until you’ve expended all the money, then load it up again! CafeCa$h means you don’t need to carry cash for lunch AND you won’t be surprised by those credit card charges or debit card entries at the end of the month. Manage your money and save time with CafeCa$h!

Use your ICC ID for Food! You can simplify paying for your food with ICC’s new CafeCa$h initiative. The CafeCa$h program lets you pre-pay for cafeteria items using your student ID. Here’s how it works. Say you have $50 (or whatever amount) that you’re going to spend on food and other delectables in ICC’s cafeteria, Café Breve, or Birchwood Cafe. Go to any one of these areas, give them your money or your credit card or a personalSM check AND your ICC ID card, and ask the staff to apply your money to your CafeCa$h account. Next time you want to make a purchase at any of these locations, simply give them your college ID with the pre-paid amount on it. The cafeteria folks swipe your card and give you a receipt that tells you how much you have left on your ID. You can even get a total history of your transactions!
