Meals on the Move
Cornell Dining is excited to pilot the new Meals on the Move program during the Fall 2024 semester. Meals on the Move was designed to add convenience for our meal plan holders, increase variety available, and reduce wait times during peak lunch periods on Central Campus. Students will be able to pick up a lunch from Crossings Café on North Campus or Rose House Dining Room on West Campus in the morning and enjoy it at a time conducive to their schedule.
Meals on the Move lunches are available Monday through Friday when classes are in session. Order by 10:30am the day before you'd like to pick up your lunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Meals on the Move program work and what are the advantages?

How much do the meals cost?
The price for a meal is one meal swipe, deducted from your meal plan on the morning of your order pickup.
Who can use this program?

That includes Unlimited, Bear Traditional, Bear Choice, Bear Basic, House Meal Plan, SFL Supplemental, South Campus Meal Plan, Flex 10/500, Off Campus Value, and the Dining Student Employees Meal Plan.
What do the meals come with and what is the menu?
The Meals on the Move program features several menu items that you can choose from. Each meal includes your chosen entrée (sandwich, salad, or grain bowl) along with a bag of chips, a piece of whole fruit, and an optional bottle of water.
Each meal is conveniently boxed together for easy pickup and portability.

How are dietary accommodations being handled?
Our menu includes a variety of options including items made without gluten-containing ingredients, vegan dishes, and meals made at 104West! We encourage you to explore our menu and the other options available through our residential dining rooms, Fill It Forward reusable container program, and our existing halal and kosher options. If you have any questions, you may contact the Cornell Dining Nutrition Office at diningnutrition@cornell.edu
How will students with allergies navigate the program?
NetNutrition will be linked throughout the ordering system to verify ingredients and allergens in the offerings. Customization will not be possible through the ordering system.
All meal boxes are labeled with allergens, as well as a QR code link to NetNutrition for additional information and to ensure that students can self-navigate the nutrition and allergen information. We encourage students with questions to contact the Cornell Dining Nutrition Office.
