We heard you\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Fall Semester, we learned a lot! We approached COVID-19 head on and tried to open most of our locations, as we have done in previous years.  We were met with many challenges, particularly with Rastall Dining Hall. We knew we would have to remain fluid in our operations and we would need to have the ability to pivot. What we did not know was how much we would actually have to pivot. We were dealing with opening locations, closing locations, mass quarantine and isolation meals; all while trying to serve the community hot, made-from-scratch food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rastall Dining Hall was the most trying during these times; changing the location from \u2018all you care to eat\u2019 to a bag pricing system, was not sustainable. Food waste, single-use paper products, and health and safety concerns for both student guests and Bon App\u00e9tit staff were a few of the deciding factors that led us to try a new approach for Spring Semester. We also heard from many students that they craved multiple locations, one main caf\u00e9 and a coffee bar was not the variety they desired.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With health and safety being a campus-wide priority, and from what we learned with quarantines during Fall Semester, we knew we had to make some adjustments. Our top priority was to create pods within our operations staff, allowing us to keep staff members who tested positive for COVID isolated and not affect food service to the CC community. By opening multiple locations across campus (see below), we are able to disperse guests around campus and not funnel them to a single location, and keep our staff and guests as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand Rastall is a desired location and while there is no timetable for Rastall to re-open, we look forward to the day we can serve you again. Meanwhile, in our five open locations, thanks to feedback from the campus community, we have lowered pricing, increased our portion sizes, and continue to offer a variety of meal options, still made from scratch and utilizing local vendors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
