• High tech: Students will use Bite+ to determine menu selection and pick up/delivery time and location

• Low tech: Students will use Microsoft Forms or other methods to determine menu selection, select pick up/delivery time and location

• Menu supported by In My Kitchen and Simply To Go modules

Social Distancing (Open Dining Locations with Capacity Limits)

• Students see clear signage delineating traffic patterns and queuing space to ensure social distancing

• Students find attended stations that include posted menus

• Students may utilize Bite+ or signage to make menu selections, learn about promotions, and determine safest traffic route to stations

resident dining menu micro-strategy will be determined by the specific needs of each campus. The menu portfolio has been engineered for modularity so that it can be tailored to optimize the guest experience, regardless of the service model changes that the “new normal” may bring to campus life.

The menu is designed to be able to expand or contract, based on current conditions and client expectations, as they evolve in real-time. Each menu module contains vegan, vegetarian and allergen-free options, and each added module layers more variety and guest choice on the modules already in place. Packaging and labeling for all Grab & Go options have been selected to optimize the guest experience, whether the mode of service is takeaway or delivery.
