Z’s has made many new and exciting changes this past year.
They are continuing to develop their recently added pre-ordering feature, which highlights new menu items and offers a fresh way to get an order customized quickly. An Instagram account is now active, displaying any important updates or food items for the day. Z, the company owner, wants students to know that the account can be found under the name @Zliciouseatz. He uses this page to post any new specials and potential discounts.
Gavin Stuckey ‘26 mentioned how this will affect the daily life of a Loyola student: “This account is very useful because it will let me know when Z’s will be selling churros or other sweet treats appearing on special occasion.”
The most revolutionary feature of Z’s that we will see within the near future has recently been implemented: the pre-ordering system. This allows students to place a personalized order in the morning, and they can pick up their food later on throughout the day, whether it is during snack or lunch.
This new convenience allows students to get their food exactly how they want it within a shorter time frame. Z applies the “you like it or your money back” belief to his restaurant, and he has already received positive feedback and excitement about the pre-ordering system. The customizable aspect of this new system is useful for foods with many toppings, such as the smash burger.
James Rodriguez ‘26 commented, “At the end of the school day when I’m hungry, I feel ensured that I will get my burger just the way I like it, with that steaming hot bun and patty.”
The team at Z’s has been working to continuously upgrade their food quality and ensure freshness. It is not rare to see the first person on their team show up as early as 5:30 in the morning. It’s no wonder that Z is one of the most beloved members in the community.
Z himself crafts most of the recipes. However, he loves hearing feedback and food suggestions from cubs. He loves conversing with his customers and wants Loyola to know that the best way to communicate with him is in person.
One of the newer items on the menu is the pizza created from homemade dough made fresh every morning. Z understands the demand for various food options by offering healthy alternatives, such as salads. Each student can find something that they will love.
Z strongly believes that the development of the pre-ordering system, the @Zliciouseatz Instagram and upgraded food quality will result in increased satisfaction in all Z’s customers. Hopefully, this will usher in a new era for Z’s, where Z’s becomes something students want rather than need.
