DINING AT THE U
Faculty & Staff dining plans
All University of Utah employees with an active uID number have access to purchase dining plans. Faculty and staff can choose between two options via payroll deduction, with up to 14 payments made throughout the academic year.
Interested employees must fill in a form in CIS, under the “Faculty” or “Employee” section, by selecting the “Dining Plans Payroll Deduction” tile.
Where to eat?
Dining plans provide convenient and accessible dining options on campus. Faculty and staff can utilize their dining plans at the two ”all-you-care-to-eat" facilities: United Table in the Peterson Heritage Center, and Urban Bytes in Kahlert Village, and at several transfer locations across campus, including Café Epicenter and Miller Café in Lassonde Studios.
Dining options range from grill items at the award-winning Game Concept in Urban Bytes at Kahlert Village, to packaged items from third-party local brands such as Saffron Valley or Tonkatsu Ramen. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available.
Failure to use dining plans does not cancel your financial responsibility for paying for the dining plan.
Two options
Our standard door rate is $19.50. Below we explain how both dining plans will give you a lower rate and how you save money.

What to know about the plans:
A dining tap can be “exchangeable” for $8.75 credit toward any food purchase at U of U Dining locations (meal combos available at all locations). These are called Meal Transfers.
Dining Dollars are funds that can be used just like a debit card at any U of U dining location.
Unlike students dining plans, faculty & staff dining dollars never expire, unless left unused for six months.
