University meal benefits reimagined
Purpose-driven teachings for all
Colleges have many purposes, from career preparation, developing social skills to critical thinking. While students at universities are fostering deeper investment in themselves, it is important that staff is considered as well. This is where Sharebite can make a difference for not just students but for the staff as well. Whether it's championing sustainability, bolstering communities, or inspiring innovation, connecting work and education with purpose ignites passion.
Students and staff well-being matters
Over the years the focus on student wellbeing has been well documented, but recently university employee's wellbeing has taken center stage as well. Universities are investing more than ever in programs and resources to support staff's mental and physical health. Whether it's unlimited PTO, flexible schedules, meal allowance benefits, or improving work-life balances, their happiness and health matter.
The role of food in
inclusive universities
Food has always played a role in bringing people together. It's no different in this new era. Universities are reimagining their approach to employee engagement and fostering inclusivity. Sharing an employer sponsored meal with colleagues not only fosters connections, sparks creativity, but it also enhances the overall staff experience.
The power of meal allowance benefits
Elevated staff and student experiences
Meal allowances contribute to a more holistic and enjoyable experience not just for university staff but also for students. By providing an easy solution for university employees and students to enjoy meals without dealing with reimbursements and red tape everyone gets to enjoy a better school and work life balance.
Increased productivity
Good food fuels great work. When university staff have access to recurring, nourishing meals, they become energized and ready to tackle challenges. Productivity soars, transforming daunting tasks into achievable goals—a win-win for both university employees and their colleges.
Enhanced school pride
School pride thrives on shared experiences, and enjoying delicious meals together brings people closer. Recurring meal stipends aren’t just about food; they’re an investment in your university's culture. They create opportunities for celebration, recognition, and a cohesive environment.
Boost morale and retain top talent
Offering meal allowances demonstrates care for your staff’s well-being, leading to higher job satisfaction and morale. These benefits can even surpass healthcare and retirement utilization, positively impacting retention and recruitment of university staff.
The #1 meal benefits platform for higher education
Simplify meal orders
We have multiple options for schools that can be used individually or combined. Stations are for group orders that are individually packaged, labeled and delivered to your facilities at the same time. Our second option is Passport, which allows employees and students to use their meal benefit however and wherever they want with a virtual credit card.
Overages? No problem
What if your staff or students are wanting to splurge a little and spend more than their allotted allowance? That’s no problem, with the innovative Passport, employees and staff can link an overage card such as a personal credit or debit card. That way any overages are covered by the university after the meal allowance is used up.
Healthy and diverse meal options
With our 4,000+ premium restaurants on the Sharebite platform, there is no shortage of healthy and diversified options. Looking for a keto friendly dish or maybe a dairy-free dessert, don’t worry our platform has tons of options to cater to everyone's dietary needs.
Making an impact in the local community
Every meal ordered through Sharebite’s platform results in the equivalent of one meal donated to alleviate food insecurity in your local community through partnerships with Feeding America® and City Harvest.
