Micro Markets: Much More Than Value-added Vending

As student expectations evolve and campuses adapt to new challenges, the traditional model of campus dining is being reimagined. Today’s institutions must balance convenience, cost efficiency, and student well-being. Micro markets and smart vending solutions are emerging as powerful tools to meet these demands, offering flexible, 24/7 food access while supporting student success.

Happy National Egg Day!
We’re proud to share that Creative Dining Services has been recognized as a leader in The Humane League’s 2026 Eggsposé report, a national benchmark evaluating progress toward cage-free egg sourcing across the foodservice industry.
As highlighted in the report, Creative Dining is among a select group of providers to fully fulfill its cage-free commitment, demonstrating that responsible sourcing at scale is achievable.
This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to:
✅ 100% cage-free egg sourcing
✅ Transparency across our supply chain
✅ Advancing animal welfare and sustainability efforts
We believe great dining programs go beyond the plate to support the values of our clients, communities, and partners.

Celebrate National Creativity Day with us!

Eating should be exciting and energizing, certainly not basic or boring. At Creative Dining, we believe we’re delivering more than nourishment, we’re fueling the next generation of dreamers, innovators and leaders, and it all starts with creativity.

We're always learning and leveling up our game at Creative Dining, and the last couple days have been a deep dive. Our Leadership Summit was chock full of opportunities to learn: teaching kitchens, speakers, new product demos, and brainstorming with colleagues from across disciplines. We've come away renewed and ready to energize our teams and commit to new levels of excellence.

Thanks to all our sponsors and vendor partners, and especially to our platinum sponsor Gordon Food Service. You keep us supplied and efficient.

Thanks to all the folks who traveled from near and far to be there, and to everybody who organized and contributed to such a great two days. You keep us informed and inspired.

And thanks to all our culinarians who work so hard everyday to prepare and serve amazing, fresh and beautiful food. You fuel our bellies and our passion.

Onward to what's next!

We had a blast at the in Chicago over the weekend! We saw many of our current partner's booths, met some new potential partners, tasted tons of yummy bites, and generally came away inspired.
This show is huge, spanning four rooms in three buildings. Vendors showcased everything from specialty sodas and gelati to uniforms, smallwares and sushi rolling machines. We saw robots mixing coffee drinks, new and interesting tea and spice mixes, and a room featuring products from all over the nation, all separated by states.
It was especially fun to see all the different booths and the way each vendor showed off their products.
Thank you to the National Restaurant Association for putting on such a great event!

We had a blast yesterday at Community Impact Day! A team from our home office helped Hungry for Christ in Hamilton, Michigan. This organization is so much more than a food pantry: they rescue food from going to the landfill, supply other food pantries in many Michigan counties, and offer local farmers a place to bring their surplus produce, all toward feeding the hungry in our state.
We helped by packing boxes for drive-thru pantries, portioning frozen foods for giveaway, sorting and boxing damaged but usable condiments, and cleaning around the warehouse.
Thank you to for putting this together every year!

This week is Food Allergy Awareness Week: it’s a reminder that food safety is about people, not just plates. 🩵
Over 33 million Americans live with food allergies.
That’s 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children.
For those individuals, dining is about trust and safety, as well as taste.
That’s why we take food allergies and special dietary needs seriously. We know how critical it is to clearly identify allergens in the foods we serve and to support guests with accuracy, care, and respect.
The FDA has identified nine major food allergens, and we proudly label them using clear indicator icons at the point of service and across our online and printed menus.
We do it because everyone deserves a safe, welcoming place at the table. 💙

Happy Mother's Day!
Many of us had mothers who passed on their skill in the kitchen. Some of us had mothers who would try anything we made for them, even when our skills were not quite there yet. Our mothers taught us how to be gracious hosts, the value of hard work and sacrifice, and where to order out from when all else failed.

At Creative Dining, we honor mothers everywhere this weekend. It's your day, Mom, have some cake!!

Pictured: carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and buttercream frosting, and lemon cake with lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting.

As we close out , we want to highlight one fan-favorite we've celebrated with: Dirt Pudding Cups! These treats were a hit at one of our college partnerships and highlight healthy soil in a tasty way.

And speaking of healthy soil, do you compost? It's so good for the garden and the environment! Better root pe*******on, adding nutrients and holding water are three ways composting helps your garden. It also helps keep waste out of landfills, reduces the need for pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and contributes to clean air!
