YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO DINING AT BUTLER UNIVERSITY
WHO IS BUTLER DINING
Bon Appétit is an on-site restaurant company offering full food-service management to corporations, universities, museums, and specialty venues. Bon Appétit has proudly served Butler students, faculty, and staff since 2019.
Our food is cooked from scratch, including sauces, stocks, and soups. (Salsa, too!) A pioneer in environmentally sound sourcing policies, we’ve developed programs addressing local purchasing, overuse of antibiotics, sustainable seafood, the food–climate change connection, humanely raised meat and eggs, and farmworkers’ rights. We’re grateful to have been recognized by many leading foundations, nonprofits, and industry associations for our work.
We are a culture driven to create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients. We do this in a socially responsible manner for the wellbeing of our guests, communities, and the environment.

INTRODUCTION
Butler Dining is committed to enhancing the student experience. We accomplish this by aligning our services with Butler’s initiatives and the needs of Butler students. Student input and feedback is critical to ensuring that we are meeting the needs of all students. The Student Dining Committee was developed as a platform for students to help shape the future of campus dining.
OBJECTIVE
The Dining Committee serves to provide student representation and feedback on dining services. The committee will drive positive changes, address concerns, and help create an inclusive dining environment that accomodates all students.
MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES
Dining Committee members are expected to attend bi-weekly meetings, actively participate in discussions, and provide constructive feedback. Committee members may be involved in initiatives such as menu planning, facility usage, planning dining events, and more.
STRUCTURE
Initially, the Dining Committee will consist of ten students chosen to represent the diverse student population. Students will work closely with Butler Dining staff (Resident District Manager, General Managers, Executive Chef, Dietician, and Marketing Director)
