Nutrition Menu

Image

A new nutritional tool was recently included on our Dine On Campus website.
Replacing our traditional online menus is a new tool that incorporates nutritional values directly into the menu display. This new feature also has a basic nutritional calculator that will actually calculate the nutritional value of items consumed at each meal. Balanced U options are also easily identified, further assisting in the selection of better-for-you options.
Promoting healthy eating on campus remains a priority and this new feature is just the latest tool we have offered to help those concerned with nutrition.

Two all-you-care-to-eat events took place at the UC during February. The first was a romantic inspired Italian meal, while the second event featured an international flavor with a Greek menu.

App on Campus

A new nutritional tool recently launched with Southeast Missouri State University dining services joining the App on Campus network. App on campus allows for full integration of Chartwells’ proprietary websites including Dine On Campus and Webtrition. Dine On Campus is the official web host for Chartwells accounts, while Webtrition is a recipe and nutritional software and data bank.

The new app is the mobile platform that centrally locates the most commonly used features of Dine On Campus and Webtrition and optimizes them for mobile browsing. The features available include daily residential and retail menus, as well as the nutritional information for items served on campus. This is a particularly ingenious feature considering the vast majority of the items we serve each day. Other features integrated into the app includes access to hours of operation, dining locations and a list of all special events or offers provided by Chartwells.

The app is available free of charge through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Take the Subway

Now it’s the world’s largest fast food chain +1. Chartwells recently opened up the franchise’s newest location in the campus Scully building.

The new Subway will be a full retail store location offering all of the promotional benefits of a regular Subway including $5 footlongs, Februany month long promotion and coupon redemption. However, this subway will have one major difference – it will accept Redbucks and meal plans, offering an additional cost savings for University affiliated guests.

Since its opening, the business has been booming. During its peak, we can accommodate nearly 250 guests in an hour.  The hours for the new Subway are 9am to 9pm Monday through Thursday,  9am to 7pm on Friday, and 4-7pm on weekends.

 

Subway Fit Subs: A New Healthy Option On Campus

One of the most common comments we receive from guests to provide healthy options. A general healthy eating audit reveals that the quantity of offerings is really not the issue, but rather getting guest to choose the correct foods is the real battle.

Subway has done a great job at building their Fresh Fit® healthy subs brand, creating easily recognizable options that provide instant “health” credibility. Plus, the subs are also a popular choice. And unlike most schools, meal plans are gladly accept at our Subway.

Subway also remains committed to improving healthy offerings. Along with lowering the fat content, Subway has pledged to reduce the amount of sodium in their sandwiches, decreasing the amount in their Fresh fit offering by nearly 30% over the last 2 years.
