We Heard Your Feedback: Introducing the New Menu du Jour at Faculty House

A smarter, more flexible dining experience for FY27.

August 31, 2026

Over the past year, many clients told us they appreciated Menu du Jour as an economical, sustainable dining option that simplified event planning while delivering quality meals and global flavors. 

We also heard your feedback that the previous rotation could feel repetitive, especially for organizations hosting recurring events on the same day each week. When meetings always happened on a Wednesday, the menu did, too. 

That's why we're making changes.

What's New? 

Expanded 10-Day Menu Selection 

Our new 10-day Menu du Jour selection introduces greater variety and a broader range of globally inspired menus. This expanded cycle reduces repetition and creates a more dynamic dining experience for guests who host events regularly throughout the semester or year.  

Every Menu du Jour still includes Gluten-Free (GF) and Vegan (VN) options to accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences. 

More Choice, More Flexibility 

Menu du Jour remains our featured offering and is included at our base price. Looking for something different? Many of the buffet favorites you've enjoyed in the past are still available for a modest upgrade. 

Why We're Making This Change 

Helping Keep Prices Stable 

By streamlining production and purchasing while maintaining access to the menu options you love, we're better positioned to manage fluctuating food and supply costs. This approach helps us maintain a strong value proposition and promote greater pricing stability over time.  

Supporting Sustainability 

A curated menu rotation allows us to better forecast demand, reduce excess food production, and minimize food waste, supporting Columbia’s commitment to sustainability. 

More Variety 

The new 10-day menu selection directly addresses client feedback regarding menu repetition, providing a more engaging experience for frequent event hosts and attendees. 

Thank you for your feedback. These enhancements were made with you in mind, and we're excited to bring even more variety, value, and sustainability to your events.
