Additional information

Our Natural Station, available in all three dining centers, is an area where only items made without the Top 9 allergens are served. 

Staff at the grill stations are trained to wash their hands, change their gloves, and pull ingredients from a fresh, designated allergen-free bag whenever a customer requests a gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, or egg-free burger. Rather than being cooked directly on the grill, clean pans are used for any dietary restriction requests. 

The made-to-order pizza station at Northside Cafe offers dairy-free cheese and gluten-free crust options. The gluten-free pizzas are made in a separate oven.

In many other instances, student employees are instructed to grab a professional staff member, typically the executive chef or sous chef, when an accommodation is requested. This staff member will work one on one with the customer and prepare the customers food in a manner that is safe for them. 

3. We have procedures in place to lower the risk of cross-contact in made-to-order areas.
