The selection of Chartwells as the next food service provider was the result of a year-long competitive bid process conducted by a 17-member ITN (Invitation to Negotiate) Committee composed of University of Florida subject-matter professionals, including faculty, staff and students, and managed by the  Office of Procurement.

Chartwells was ultimately selected for its expertise in the higher education industry, ability to reinvent the on-campus dining experience, and mission to engage with and serve students in innovative and meaningful ways.

Current Gator Dining associates will be provided an opportunity to join their team with pay opportunities that are equal to or better than what they receive today.
