How does Hoya Hospitality support Hoya Hub?

The Hoya Hub food pantry is a resource for any member of the Georgetown community experiencing food insecurity. Hoya Hospitality helps stock the pantry with non-perishable food items, which are available to anyone who needs food on an immediate, emergency basis. During the period of online instruction during the coronavirus pandemic, Hoya Hub has been relocated to the Village A community room kitchen.

When do 2022-2023 Meal Plans start?

What are Flex Dollars?

Flex Dollars come with your Meal Plan. “FLEX” can be used for food at any Hoya Hospitality location – even delivery! You must have a Meal Plan to purchase Flex Dollars, which can be added to any Meal Plan. Unused Flex Dollars expire at the end of Spring Semester. Flex Dollar balances now carry over between semesters!

Are Flex Dollars and Debit Dollars transactions taxed?

When Debit Dollars are used for a transaction tax will be applied, just like cash or credit card sales. As part of your Meal Plan, Flex Dollars are not taxed.

Where can I use my Flex Dollars this semester?

Flex dollars are accepted at all on-campus dining locations.

Can I treat a friend?

The following methods of payment may be used by the Meal Plan member for a guest: Guest Meals (at The Table at Leo’s), Flex Dollars, Debit Dollars, Cash, and Credit Card. You may treat whomever you want as long as you are present to swipe your GOCard (GOCards are not required if paying with cash or credit card). Meal Plan members may not pass, sell, or loan their cards to others. Weekly and Block meals may only be used by the meal plan member and may not be used to purchase a meal for another guest.

What is The Table at Leo's?

The Table at Leo’s is an all-you-care-to-eat dining hall. Starting with the freshest ingredients possible, we turn our kitchens inside out to create an environment where chefs craft every dish to-order, in front of our guests. Modeled after an open marketplace, this approach allows us to creatively deliver a simply great, fresh experience — every time!

    • Crop Chop (Leavey Center)

When do my Meal Exchanges reset for the week?

Your weekly Meal Exchange allotment begins on Sundays and ends on Saturdays.

Can I take my meal to-go if I don’t feel like eating in the dining hall?

Yes, take your food wherever you want to go by opting in to our Reusable To-Go Program. Per current Public Health guidance, all dining locations may allow for dine-in or to-go offerings.

What if I have special dietary needs or restrictions? Can I purchase a Meal Plan?

Yes! We will do everything possible to accommodate your dietary needs, restrictions, and preferences.

For our dining program, each menu item served daily will have an accompanying “label” that details ingredients and identifiers of interest for that food (ex: low sodium, low fat, made without gluten, smart choice). You can also see our menu options online on our Menus & Hours page – you can filter by allergens and by dietary patterns (i.e., vegetarian, vegan, etc.) to see what meets your needs that day.

See Special Diets for more information. If you have special needs not addressed here, please email mealplans@georgetown.edu. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs.
