Employee Cashless Dining Benefit

RU employees may participate in the cashless purchasing system for food service similar to what the RU resident students enjoy. This same benefit is available to everyone with a new Roosevelt University ID. An additional benefit is that you will receive a 10% discount on all food purchases!  The card can be used at both the Dining Center in the Wabash Building and the Michigan Lobby Coffee Shop in the Auditorium.

Just see a manager or supervisor in the Dining Center (2nd floor Wabash) and fill out a simple form. You will need your Roosevelt ID and payment by cash, check or credit card. There is a minimum buy in of $25.

Once you have used your initial balance you can add additional funds to your plan online. You will need a major credit card or debit card to use this convenient system, or you can continue to pay in cash directly to the Dining Center Manager. It is best to stop by between meal periods to avoid waiting.

If you have any questions please contact the Dining Service Manager at x6576 or e-mail him at dining@roosevelt.edu.
