Speak Up

This is YOUR dining service and we are here to serve you! We appreciate your input and feedback to better meet your needs. You can make your voice heard through comment cards or just introduce yourself and tell us what you think.

Special Dietary Needs

If you have special dietary needs, please consult with the Management Staff. All efforts will be made to meet your special needs.  

Meals On The Go

If a required school activity prohibits you from attending a meal(s), we will pack a meal(s) for you. Please have your department head or coach request your needs at least 24 hours in advance with the Dining Manager. ID will be needed when an order is picked up.

Trayless Dining

Aladdin is proud to sponsor a trayless dining program at Capital University. Trayless dining reduces our environmental footprint. It decreases waste, conserves natural resources (namely, energy and water) and reduces the introduction of polluting detergents, rinses, and drying agents into the water table. Socially, trayless dining can provide education and awareness about environmental issues, while also potentially reinforcing a healthy lifestyle. It is an initiative that supports campus sustainability.

Registered Dietitian

We have a wealth of resources available to our guests, including the expert guidance of a registered dietitian. Arrangements can be made for individual consultations concerning any dietary need, such as sports nutrition, weight control, food allergies, or medically prescribed diets.

Going Green Eco Friendly To-Go

We will be offering our To-Go Meals in Eco-Friendly containers for $5. These will be available at the front register in Capital Court.  Students will have the option of taking a To-Go Container for their meal on the go. When they return the container they will get a new clean container for their next meal. This will contribute to our sustainability and to the freedom of students leaving the dining hall.

Sustainability

Our team at Capital University is committed to protecting the environment. Below are a few of the ways we are working to build a better tomorrow.

• Food Waste Composting
• Recycling- paper, cardboard, metal, aluminum,
• Re-usable ToGo containers
• Compostable disposables
• Purchasing from local companies when possible.

ID Card Policy

You must present your ID card to the cashier each time you enter Capital Court. Please do not ask the cashier to admit you without your ID card.
