Case Study
Alfaisal University Increases Campus Office Attendance 5× with Walima
See how Alfaisal University uses Walima to create exceptional workplace dining experiences, increase on-campus engagement, and simplify catering across its Riyadh campus.
The Challenge
As faculty, administrators, and staff adopted more flexible work schedules, Alfaisal University sought new ways to encourage employees back to campus while simplifying the coordination of meetings, training sessions, executive events, and departmental catering.
Managing multiple restaurant vendors, coordinating deliveries, and processing invoices across departments was time-consuming and inefficient.
The Solution
Alfaisal University partnered with Walima to centralize all workplace catering through a single enterprise platform.
With Walima, university departments can:
- Order from multiple restaurant partners through one platform
- Schedule catering for meetings, conferences, and campus events
- Consolidate deliveries into a single coordinated fulfillment
- Manage approvals, budgets, and invoicing
- Receive one invoice with enterprise payment terms
The Results
Since implementing Walima, Alfaisal University has:
- Increased on-campus office attendance by 5×
- Achieved 92% employee satisfaction with workplace dining and catering
- Streamlined management of SAR 2M+ in annual catering spend
- Reduced administrative effort through centralized ordering and invoicing
- Improved the employee experience with greater restaurant variety and reliable, on-time delivery
"Walima transformed how we coordinate catering across our campus. From faculty meetings and executive events to university programs, the platform's flexibility, restaurant selection, and enterprise invoicing have streamlined our operations while enhancing the employee experience."
