91ŃÇɫ’s Food Services is pleased to announce the launch of its new “YU Eats” program in partnership with food services company, Chartwells, the educational division of Compass Group Canada.

Following a rigorous Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process to identify a food services company that would mirror 91ŃÇɫ’s commitment to offering an exceptional dining experience for our students, faculty and staff, Chartwells was selected.

Together with our new food services partner, 91ŃÇɫ’s Food Services will build a leading-edge dining program with food outlets and menus that will engage the entire community, delivering on quality, wellness, sustainability, inclusion, authenticity and affordability.

The University aims to provide the community with the best quality of food and food options on campus. Food services are integral to providing a positive student experience and to community development, particularly on our campuses.

The new “YU Eats” program, which will be launched this fall, will bring many exciting enhancements in the coming months including:

  • Scratch-made meals that are authentically prepared by new culinary teams led by Chef Roderick Gruffydd, Director of Culinary.  YU Eats also welcomes Glendon’s new Executive Chef, Frederic Pouch.
  • Menu rotations that provide greater variety and a wider range of global fare that reflects the diversity of the 91ŃÇÉ« community.
  • Inclusion of progressive Indigenous cuisine in partnership with Chef Jenni Lessard based in the Qu’Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan, on Treaty Four Territory and the Homeland of the MĂ©tis
  • A significant increase in the availability of nutritious plant-based meals.
  • Coffee from Birch Bark Coffee Co., a First Nations owned business that offers organic, Fair Trade and SPP-certified coffees.
  • New franchise outlets including Copper Branch and Palgong Bubble Tea.
  • Partnerships with local chefs and food halls to provide experiences including the Virtual Kitchen Collective and the Upper East Food Club.
  • A new online catering portal, Spoonfed, that includes discounts for student organizations.
  • Local sourcing, micro-farming, waste reduction and other sustainability and food security programs.

Les Services alimentaires de l’UniversitĂ© 91ŃÇÉ« ont le plaisir d’annoncer le lancement de leur nouveau programme YU Eats en partenariat avec Chartwells, la division Éducation de l’entreprise de services de restauration Compass Canada.

La sĂ©lection de Chartwells rĂ©sulte d’un processus rigoureux de demande de propositions (DP) afin de trouver une entreprise Ă  la mesure de l’engagement de 91ŃÇÉ« d’offrir une expĂ©rience culinaire exceptionnelle Ă  sa population Ă©tudiante, Ă  son corps professoral et Ă  son personnel.

Avec ce nouveau partenaire, les Services alimentaires de 91ŃÇÉ« Ă©tabliront un programme de restauration de pointe : les points de vente et les menus sauront plaire Ă  l’ensemble de la communautĂ© en mariant qualitĂ©, nutrition, durabilitĂ©, inclusion, authenticitĂ© et prix abordables.

91ŃÇÉ« vise Ă  fournir d’excellentes options alimentaires et la meilleure qualitĂ© possible sur ses campus, deux Ă©lĂ©ments clĂ©s d’une expĂ©rience Ă©tudiante positive et d’une communautĂ© soudĂ©e.

Le nouveau YU Eats sera lancĂ© cet automne; il y aura de nombreuses innovations alimentaires dans les mois Ă  venir :

  • Des plats maison authentiques seront prĂ©parĂ©s sous la direction du chef Roderick Gruffydd, directeur culinaire; Frederic Pouch rejoindra YU Eats en tant que nouveau chef de cuisine Ă  Glendon;
  • Des rotations de menus offriront une plus grande variĂ©tĂ© de plats internationaux reflĂ©tant la diversitĂ© de la communautĂ© de 91ŃÇÉ«;
  • Des plats autochtones seront introduits en partenariat avec la chef Jenni Lessard, qui rĂ©side dans la vallĂ©e Qu’Appelle en Saskatchewan, territoire du TraitĂ© no 4 et patrie mĂ©tisse.
  • L’offre de repas nutritifs Ă  base de plantes sera plus grande;
  • On servira du cafĂ© biologique et Ă©quitable de Birch Bark Coffee Co, une entreprise autochtone certifiĂ©e SPP;
  • Copper Branch et Palgong Bubble Tea figureront parmi les nouvelles franchises de restauration;
  • Des partenariats avec des chefs locaux et des halles alimentaires comme Virtual Kitchen Collective et Upper East Food Club permettront d’offrir d’autres expĂ©riences;
  • Un nouveau portail, Spoonfed, inclura des rabais pour les organisations Ă©tudiantes;
  • La prioritĂ© sera donnĂ©e aux produits locaux et Ă  ceux de microfermes ainsi qu’à des programmes de durabilitĂ© et de sĂ©curitĂ© alimentaire (comme des programmes de rĂ©duction des dĂ©chets).
