Lauded by its industry and its campus clientele, Boston College Dining Services is all about options: diverse dining locations and pop-up events; culinary innovation and inventive menus; cuisine selections which rival that of restaurants, and extended hours of dining availability.
Later this month, BCDS will launch a new option: Faculty/Staff Flex Dining Plans—declining balance accounts maintained through the Eagle One Card—which offer purchasing flexibility and convenience.
Participants, who may enroll in the plan or choose the amount of funds to add to their account at any time, can get everything from grain bowls to fresh baked treats, specialty coffee or grocery staples.
Faculty and staff will be able to choose from four flex plans, in monetary increments, which come with varying amounts of Flex Dollars, and some with free Bonus Dollars:
•FLEXFS Basic: $20-$60 Flex Dollars
•FLEXFS 75: $75 Flex Dollars plus $5 Bonus Dollars
•FLEXFS 200: $200 Flex Dollars plus $20 Bonus Dollars
•FLEXFS 325: $325 Flex Dollars plus $50 Bonus Dollars
With the exception of Bonus Dollars, which must be used by May 31 in a calendar year or are forfeited, Flex Dollars roll over and do not expire.
The “Flex Dollars” in the Faculty/Staff Flex Dining Plans will be accepted at all dining locations across campus, including the faculty dining room, as well as at concessions, GET Mobile ordering, BC Farmers Market, CSA Farm Share, and vending machines.
“We are excited to introduce these new plans to faculty and staff since they provide extra spending power through bonus dollars and have the convenience of using your Eagle One Card when you dine with us,” said BCDS Director Beth Emery.
Dining Services offers Flex plans for students, and the new faculty/staff iteration is being introduced to streamline the meal plans offered on campus, Emery noted. The Faculty/Staff Flex Plan replaces Optional Dining Bucks and Dining Dollars.
In addition to its fresh-to-table philosophy, commitment to quality, and regional and responsible sourcing, BCDS maintains a standard of exemplary treatment of its employees.
Details and enrollement information for the Faculty/Staff Flex Plan is available at the BC Dining website.
