Student safety is our priority 

We have changed many of the ways we do business due to COVID-19:  

• UNT Dining Services is utilizing FDA’s Employee Health and Personal Hygiene Handbook for  guidelines  pertaining to food service operations.  

• Contactless entry into our Dining Halls means Guests now swipe their own ID cards upon entry. We are not accepting cash at this time.   

• All salad stations in Dining Halls and Retail Restaurants are full-service—a trained employee will fix your salad to order to reduce contact.  

• Reduced the number of chairs and increased space between tables in our dining room to allow Guests to practice adequate social distancing. 

• Added floor markers and signage to encourage a 6-foot distance between other Guests and Team Members. 

• Signs posted  throughout our venues serve as friendly reminders of our Guests’ responsibility to practice social distancing.

• Frequently evaluating closed venues  to reopen as many as possible. 

Sanitation remains top-of-mind 

We take great pride in our clean operations and have increased the frequency and stringency of our already-strict cleaning routines. We have carefully reviewed our sanitation procedures and have updated them accordingly. 

We are taking extra measures to ensure the safety of our Guests and Team Members by increasing the frequency of:  

• Electrostatic sanitation in dining areas 

• Deep cleaning check points in all food preparation areas 

• Disinfecting all food contact surfaces and kitchen equipment 

• Cleaning and sanitizing for tables, chairs and dining room touchpoints frequently

Our commitment to food safety has always been a priority:

• Every Manager, Chef and employee supervisor at UNT is ServSafe Manager Certified 

• Managers are diligent about training and overseeing proper glove change and handwashing practices 

• UNT Dining Services’ Food Handler Certification program is the only one of its kind to be accredited though the Texas Department of State Health Services 

• In partnership with UNT Risk Management’s Director of Public Health, we employ a third-party food safety auditor to complete regular, in-depth inspections of kitchen check points and protocols 

We will continue to review and modify all sanitation solutions as circumstances evolve. 

Where can I eat? 

As we are continually assessing the situation on and off campus, and adjusting our operations accordingly, we recommend bookmarking www.dining.unt.edu/hours for the most up-to-date hours of operation.  

Currently some Retail venues and Kerr Dining Hall are open to anyone who remains on campus. If you don’t have a Meal Plan, simply pay our standard door rate at Kerr -- just $7.95 for an all-you-care-to-eat hot meal.
