welcome back Brandeisians

We’ve listened to your feedback and have been working throughout the summer to improve the campus dining experience this fall.

Read about some of the exciting dining changes we have planned below.

What’s New

Feast Your Eyes On Fridays

Based on student feedback, we are excited to introduce new culinary offerings every Friday!

Local Chef Takeover

We are delighted to announce the return of the much-loved Friday Chef Takeovers with a twist. This year, the Chef Takeovers will be featured in both Usdan Kitchen & Farm Table at Sherman! Our chefs will feature their culinary talents bi-weekly with a made-to-order entrée featuring local ingredients from our partners across New England!

Mobile Ordering Just Got An Upgrade

Grubhub is returning this fall, and it’s better than ever! You can look forward to an all-new mobile ordering experience and even more customizable options from your favorite dining locations with allergen, calorie, and iconography to quickly convey menu information, from vegan and vegetarian options to made-without-gluten dishes. You asked, and we listened and developed specialized menus that meet your needs. Whether you want to pick up your favorite coffee on your way to class or have your customized sandwich delivered via robot delivery, your mobile ordering experience has entered the next level!

Download the “Grubhub” app on Google Play or the Apple Store to order food on the go! We’ve expanded our options at various locations and included more ways to customize your order. Along with our Starship delivery robots, which can deliver your order straight to you on campus, ordering your next meal or snack is at the convenience of your fingertips. Grubhub will be available at Einstein Bros. Bagels, Dunkin’, Starbucks, La Sabrosa, Greens & Grains, Wok This Way, The Stein, and Louis’ Deli.

Mobile ordering is green; when ordering with Grubhub, you will receive your order in a reusable container by default. Guests must sign up for our Choose to Reuse program for all participating locations; you must do so initially through the Grubhub app. Once you have activated your account with your Brandeis email and phone number, you can use the ReusePass website to join the Choose to Reuse program. (Please note, when using Choose to Reuse in Usdan Kitchen & Farm Table at Sherman, participants must use “ReusePass” to take meals to-go.)

Want your food delivered right to your dorm? You can also Choose to Reuse with Starship-Food Delivery through participating locations on Grubhub!

Based on student feedback, we are excited to introduce made-to-order items in our residential dining halls to personalize your plates! Additionally, those dining at the Hive Culinary Studio, Louis Deli, and The Stein can enjoy a fully customizable ordering experience so you can make your meal the way you want it! You can also look forward to a large variety of new menu offerings at these locations!

More Vegan & Vegetarian Options

We’ve added more vegan and vegetarian offerings to the menus at The Hive Culinary Studio, The Stein, and Louis Deli so everyone can enjoy them even more!

Dining Redesigned at The Faculty Club

The Faculty Club now offers a brand new sit-down dining option for faculty and staff, featuring a redesigned menu!

Who We Are

At Brandeis Hospitality, we expect our food to taste good, but we want it to do more than that. We want you to know where it comes from and how it’s made. Who prepared it? We want it to tell a story. Upon the student’s return to campus, you’ll notice that we share our culinary story with 100% transparency through a mobile-friendly website, digital signage, and chalk signage highlighting our menus with nutritional info, local partners, and allergen information. We use fresh, vibrant, responsibly sourced ingredients to create exciting flavors from down the street and around the globe. We are excited for you to enjoy some of the partnerships with local businesses, Boston’s Best Coffee, Rhed’s Hot Sauce, Narragansett Creamery, RI Mushroom Co., Little Leaf Lettuce, Heiwa Tofu, Spare Food Co., Farm Fresh Rhode Island, Ward’s Berry Farm, and Fantini Bakery.

Variety abounds at our dining halls and retail locations throughout campus. Whether you’re looking for an all-you-care-to-eat meal from Usdan Kitchen or The Kosher Table at Sherman or to fuel your day with a quick coffee from Dunkin’, we have an option for everyone. Our world-class chefs, hospitality team, and food enthusiasts are ready to create dishes and experiences that meet every need. 

Health & Wellbeing

We bring fresh ingredients and new ideas together in a way that encourages personal growth, meaningful connections, and a strong sense of community. We are a team of chefs, hospitality experts, and food enthusiasts delivering a different kind of culinary experience. Quality is our commitment, and our chefs go beyond technique and flavor development to bring you a quality meal from sourcing to preparation. 

We believe in preparing food that is safe for you and essential to a healthy life. So, our commitment is to help you power your activities on campus with good food and a dining program that makes it easy for you to eat right. It’s why we have healthy and wholesome choices available every day, and it’s why we have nutrition and wellness programs that help take some of the mystery out of healthy living. 

Menus & Special Dietary Needs  

Our Registered Dietitian is available to provide guidance and nutrition counseling for those with additional nutritional needs to help foster a healthy lifestyle here on campus. They are excited to help you learn how to navigate your dining choices, dive into ingredient transparency, and learn about the Harvest Table Culinary Group’s commitment to health and well-being. We accommodate guests with dietary allergies or preferences in various ways, and our Registered Dietitian looks forward to helping you have a personalized experience with all of your dining opportunities. 

Online interactive menus are available at www.BrandeisHospitality.com and are easily accessible from your computer or mobile device. You can view our daily menu offerings for all Brandeis Hospitality campus locations to help you plan the week!    

In-depth nutrition information for each menu item is provided, including a manufacturer-provided ingredient listing and allergen information. Click the menu item to access. Dietary filters are available on all menus to navigate the daily offerings based on your restrictions and/or preferences to access complete ingredient listings for each item easily. Allergen filters are available for all Top 9 Allergens. When selected, each menu item containing the chosen allergen will be automatically grayed out to search dining options easily. Dietary preferences, such as vegan, vegetarian, and made-without-gluten, are identified with icons on all digital platforms. All other options will be grayed out when the preference filter is selected. 

Digital signage at each food station in our residential dining locations highlights basic nutrition information and indicates whether any of the Top 9 allergens are present in each recipe. 

Dietary icons identify menu items that are suitable for a particular dietary preference. 

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting, fill out a Registered Dietitian Contact Us form.

Meal Plans

Find the perfect Meal Plan to fit your life on campus. We are excited to welcome you to the table with meal plans centered around authentic culinary experiences and endless options for you. We want to make dining on campus easy, so our plans offer access to a convenient combination of sit-down meals, grab-and-go snacks, retail restaurants, marketplaces, coffee shops, and more.

Points and WhoCash can be used at any dining location on campus. Many meals reference a number of swipes in a week, or in the case of Block Plans, the number of meals per semester. Some plans include Meal Exchange (ME) which is redeemable for a combo meal at Greens & Grains, Wok This Way, La Sabrosa, Louis’ Deli, The Hoot Market, The Stein, We Proudly Serve Starbucks, & Einstein Bros Bagels.

For our commuting students, graduate students, faculty & staff, we have meal plans designed just for you. Most of these meal plans offer Block Meals, which can be used throughout most of our dining locations on-campus and even come with a set amount of Points to use. Those who select specific meal plans can take advantage of mobile ordering & pick-up through Grubhub or food delivery powered by Starship robots.

To select a meal plan or learn more about our meal plans, click here.

Please allow at least one business day to process an online Meal Plan purchase. Once used, voluntary meal plans are non-refundable and non-transferable. For more information about Meal Plans, visit the Brandeis Campus Card Office or our Meal Plans FAQ page. 

Guest Feedback

We pride ourselves on evolving the program based on guest feedback; our mantra is “for students, by students,” meaning you are the spark that ignites daily changes to the food served or the events hosted. Whether you scribble us a quick note on the Napkin Talk wall, take our 24/7 short guest feedback survey, or drop us a message on the Contact Us form, we’re ready to listen, respond, and adapt the program to make it uniquely Brandeis. We look forward to dining with you soon!
