Our Beliefs

Seeing is Believing

We will conduct our business with the highest ethical standards and believe the following are fundamental to our success:

  • Food sustains us, nourishing our bodies, minds and souls. It is precious to be celebrated and not wasted.
  • Buying local and sustainable ingredients preserves flavors and regional diversity while investing in the community.
  • By taking a leadership position in the University dining services, we can be a mechanism in re-inventing the food supply chain.
  • Educating our employees and guests about food can open their minds to new culture, healthful practices and appreciation of the global impact made by their individual choices.
  • A culture created around a common passion will inspire people to do the right things and deliver our promises to our customers.
  • Providing opportunities for all employees to develop their potential ensures their long-term growth as well as our own.
  • Listening to our employee's specific needs and finding solutions recognizes their individuality and importance.
  • Making sound fiscal and business decisions at all levels of the organization will contribute to the realization of our culinary dreams.
  • Embracing technology allows us to better meet the needs of our clients and guests.
  • Innovation and risk taking are necessary to our success with the understanding that sometimes we may fall short.
  • Having fun toward our dream keeps us grounded.
