For Parents

A LETTER TO THE PARENTS

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As classes begin at Reed College, Bon Appétit Management Company recognizes that many
students will be filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety as they return to campus after a
long period. The need for connection and comfort will be strong. We believe that food has an important role to play in building culture and community on campus. As the dining services provider at Reed College, it’s our job to ensure each student feels welcome and safe when they dine with us, and that they receive delicious meals that meet their dietary needs.
Our chefs will be cooking from scratch, using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients that meet
industry-leading sustainability standards and, as always, we are offering free online wellness
resources to support students’ health and well-being. In addition, your student will continue to
find abundant plant-forward, vegetarian, and vegan options as well as ones that are made
without gluten-containing ingredients every day.
We’re happy to work with any students with food allergies or other dietary restrictions to make sure everyone can enjoy plenty of delicious food, safely, with us. All of our chefs and managers receive FARE-certified food allergen awareness training and pass that training on to our hourly employees through dedicated bi-annual training and daily reminders — keeping allergies top of mind. Our team will foster individual communication with students with food allergies, in line with best practices outlined in the FARE restaurant guidelines.
As always, we welcome any questions or feedback from concerned parents and guardians.
Sincerely,
Michael Bucuvalas
General Manager

MEAL PLANS

We offer a variety of meal plans to fit your lifestyle. The meal plans operate on a declining balance or debit system. Depending on the plan selected, students begin each semester with a set amount of meal plan dollars or “points”. Students then draw down on their balance as they purchase food. If a student runs out of points they can add additional money throughout the semester. To inquire about meal plan sign-ups or more information, please stop by the Bon Appétit office or the Res Life office.
