Meal Plans Provide Quality, Affordable Options for UK Faculty and Staff
LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 21, 2015) — UK Dining offers faculty and staff the opportunity to save money through a variety of meal options and access to all of the restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores on the main campus as well as Kentucky Clinic Starbucks on the medical campus.
The three plans available to faculty & staff are:
• The 20 Block Plan, which includes 20 all-you-care-to-eat meals at Blazer Café and Commons Market* or Wildcat Deals** at participating restaurants for $110, at approximately $5.50 per meal. Any extra meals roll over to the next semester and do not expire. This plan offers the most amount of food for the money.
• The 10 Block Plan, which includes 10 all-you-care-to-eat meals at Blazer Café and Commons Market* or Wildcat Deals** at participating restaurants for $110 (approximately $6 per meal) and $50 flex. The meals and flex dollars for faculty/staff do not expire and will roll over.
• The All Flex Dollars Plan, which includes $200 flex for $170. Flex can be used at all main campus cafés, restaurants and convenience stores as well as Kentucky Clinic Starbucks on the medical campus.
This summer, “meals” on the 20- and 10- block plans may be used for all-you-care-to-eat meals at Commons Market (open with varied schedule beginning June 5th for summer camps), for a Wildcat Deal at K-Lair or Intermezzo, or after June 1st for a lunch Wildcat Deal at Greens to Go and a dinner Wildcat Deal at Chick-fil-A or Subway. This fall the main location to use meals will be The Fresh Food Company at The 90, which replaces Commons Market as the all-you-care-to-eat restaurant on south campus. Faculty and staff meals may be used to treat a guest. Flex dollars on the meal plans may be used at all dining locations on the main campus as well as Kentucky Clinic Starbucks on the medical campus. Find more information about open locations here.
As an added bonus, faculty and staff may receive a $1 off food purchases of $5 or more with a faculty/staff ID at Intermezzo or Apothecary Café (excludes combos, national brands and convenience stores).
