Can students order food from New Paltz Dining Services using an app?
Yes. The College partners with Grubhub, the nation's leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, to make it easy for students to order from their favorite on-campus cafes and eateries and pay using Dining Dollars, Hawk Dollars, or credit or debit cards.
As part of our effort to promote contactless payment and keep our students and employees safe, New Paltz Dining Services has made Grubhub the primary form of ordering and payment for campus dining services.
All students enrolled on a dining plan will be expected to download and use the Grubhub app to make purchases at campus dining locations.
Note: Grubhub is not available for grab & go pickup meals at the Terrace; students will need to swipe their campus ID cards.
Grubhub can be used for dining purchases at the Roost, Sweets & Treats, all Student Union Building cafes & eateries and the Starbucks at Parker Theatre.
Those who do not have their Grubhub account linked to their New Paltz Dining Services account can follow these easy instructions to set it up:
- Download the Grubhub app
- Create an account
- Go to My Grubhub > Settings > Campus Dining
- Affiliate your account with SUNY New Paltz
- Set up your payment methods (including your campus ID card)

In an effort to make this very important information more digestible for campus community members, we're highlighting questions and answers in this newsletter, one per day, as the fall semester approaches.
Please note: We are working to update and add FAQs as planning continues and this situation evolves. We will prioritize sharing the most current information in this space.
