Enhanced services and innovative changes to the dining services for the Fall 2020 semester:

  • Introduction of take-out capability via Grubhub at the following locations: Murray Student Center Dining Hall, Donnelly Café, the Cabaret, North End Dining and Hancock Brew. This new service allows students to order their meals ahead of time for convenience and safety. Students can use their dining plan meal swipes at the Dining Hall and North End Dining (Pick 3). In addition, Thrifty Cash, Marist Money, credit and debit card can be used to place a Grubhub take-out order at the above locations. 
  • On-campus retail menu delivery pickup is available via Grubhub from the Marketplace and Cabaret for Chick N Bap and Simply to Go menus. This free service, offers convenience at no extra charge, providing students convenience of not having to walk to campus retail locations. Only Thrifty Cash, Marist Money, credit, and debit can be used for Grubhub app delivery pickup service. No Pick 3 Meal Swaps can be used. 
    • The Cabaret will offer Chick N Bap and Simply to Go menus for delivery pickup from 5:00pm-10:00pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
    • Marketplace will offer only delivery pickup service from 5:00pm-10:00pm daily. No walk-up service will be available at this location.

In these challenging times, we continue our commitment to bring quality service to the campus community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Marist Dining Services General Manager Colene Doughty at colene.doughty@sodexo.com.

The combination of value, choice, and variety make any one of these plans a great option for dining on campus. Meal swipes on each flex dining plan can be used to eat in the Dining Hall, for a Grubhub pre-ordered take out meal through the Dining Hall or for a pre-packaged meal only at the North End Dining location (Pick 3).

A dining plan can be modified by visiting the MyHousing page on My.Marist.edu and clicking MyMeal Plan. Dining plan changes are made online and can take up to two business days to process. Any meal swipes remaining in an account on any Dining Plan do not transfer from the fall to spring semester.

Funds remaining in a Thrifty Cash account transfer from the fall semester to the spring semester only, provided that the student remains enrolled in a dining plan for the spring semester.
