Campus Dining tips during winter weather
Campus Dining is currently experiencing significant staffing challenges due to continued hazardous road conditions in the greater Nashville area. Despite these challenges, both Rand and Commons Dining Centers are open from 7:30am until 7:30pm, offering continuous uninterrupted meal service.
Based on this week’s traffic patterns, it appears as though demand is high during peak times (11:45pm – 12:30pm, and 5:00pm – 7:00pm). To minimize trips and reduce potential wait times, Campus Dining recommends the following to ensure a hassle-free dining experience this week:
- It is recommended that students take advantage of multiple meal swipes at non-peak times in dining halls; microwaveable plastic containers are available upon request.
- Munchie Marts are great alternative to dining halls, and most are open 7:30am -10:00pm. To avoid limited late-night available pickup slots, students should consider visiting Munchie Marts earlier in the day, in order to stock up for evening meals.
To cater to non-peak diners, Rand Dining is offering a ‘Happy Hour’ between 3:00pm – 5:00pm, featuring burgers (regular and vegan) and fries, and a walk-up pasta station will open at 4:30pm. In addition, Rand will feature Pho alongside Fresh Mex and Chef’s Table as walk-up lunch options.
As a reminder, Rand Express and Commons Express GET pre-ordering is not available until normal service is resumed.
