Good morning, Westerville. Technology troubles hit Ohio State's campus Monday when GrubHub's app crashed as part of a larger Amazon Web Services outage, leaving students facing longer lines and fewer ordering options. The digital disruption, which began around 11 a.m., has disabled mobile ordering and robot delivery services, forcing hungry Buckeyes to navigate the old-fashioned world of in-person ordering during what's shaping up to be a chaotic finals season for campus dining.
The local landscape continues evolving as OSU's Campus Partners teams up with Crawford Hoying to expand University Square with a hotel featuring rooftop dining and additional apartment options. Meanwhile, wing enthusiasts can finally celebrate as the beloved Roosters restaurant on Olentangy River Road prepares to reopen this Thursday after last year's devastating fire, proving that even beloved chicken joints can rise from the ashes for a much-anticipated comeback.

0%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🍔 GrubHub app crashes, leaving hungry students scrambling for alternatives. The outage, part of a larger Amazon Web Services failure Monday morning, has disabled mobile ordering, robot delivery, and reusable box options across Ohio State University's campus. Students can still place orders using in-person kiosks or their BuckID at cashier terminals, though not all kiosks are operational. University Spokesperson Dave Isaacs warned students to expect longer wait times, especially during evening hours. The GrubHub disruption began around 11 a.m., with no timeline provided for when services might be restored.
🏨 University Square expansion brings hotel and rooftop dining to OSU. The next phase of development will be a collaboration between OSU's Campus Partners and Dublin-based Crawford Hoying. Plans include constructing a hotel, apartments, and parking garage on 2.5 acres behind University Square North and South. The mixed-use development will enhance dining options in the area, featuring a rooftop bar among other amenities. This project continues the ongoing transformation of the campus-area landscape.
🍗 Fire-damaged Roosters restaurant rises from the ashes this Thursday. The popular chicken joint on Olentangy River Road near Ohio State University is reopening after being destroyed by fire last year. Local wing enthusiasts will once again be able to visit this beloved Columbus eatery. The restaurant is part of a broader expansion plan for Roosters, which has been adding new locations throughout the Columbus area.
