Do you have experience with dining providers bringing restaurants in-house?

Yes, we have seen local restaurants included as part of a dining provider’s overall program. For student dining, this can take the shape of product features, periodic pop-ups, multi-day station takeovers, or even semi-permanent residence within a retail location. On the catering side, we’ve also seen the inclusion of local restaurants on the operator’s very own catering guide. This can be an alternative solution to allowing use of meal plans off campus; however, there are financial impacts that must be considered with this approach as well.
