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.
