Ordering and pick-up procedures

Newark Dining Services is excited to welcome students, faculty, staff and guests back for the fall semester!

This semester, we are returning to full-service operations with a slightly new ordering process designed to improve convenience and efficiency.

Dining plans

Ohio State offers a range of dining plans to meet the needs of students for convenient, nutritious food.  

Students serve themselves from chafing dishes.

Catering

Newark Catering has transitioned to a drop-off only service model. We will no longer provide full-service catering. All food and beverage orders will be delivered using disposable packaging and will not include on-site staffing, setup or cleanup services.

Please review the updated process below for placing catering orders:

Place an order

  1. View the Newark Catering menu.
  2. Place an order via email: sl-newarkcatering@osu.edu. All orders will be processed by the events and conferences team.
  3. If the event is outside the scope of Newark Catering's menu offerings:
    1. University Catering may support the event.
    2. If University Catering is unavailable, local non-Ohio State catering companies may be used.
