Meal packages

Pay once. Eat all semester.

A meal package is a bundle of prepaid credits you buy up front and spend at the counter whenever you like. It works out cheaper per meal than paying as you go, and it takes the daily decision off your plate entirely.

Packages suit anyone with a routine at South Suburban College — students eating between classes, faculty on campus all week, and departments that would rather settle one invoice than a stack of receipts.

Package pricing will be published alongside the café’s opening hours.

Four ways to buy

Pick the package that matches your week

Every package covers full meals, not a dollar balance — a credit is an entrée with a side and a drink, whatever the hot line is running that day.

  • Not sure which one fits? If you eat on campus twice a week, the 5-Meal Package is enough. If you are here for a full weekday timetable, the 10-Meal Package works out cheapest per plate. Departments buying for several people should contact the café team so we can set up billing properly.

    Included with every package

    Five things that make a package painless

    These apply to all four packages, from the smallest student bundle to a department order.
  • 1

    Digital Receipt

    Your receipt is emailed the moment you buy, with the package name, credit count and purchase date on it. Nothing to keep in a wallet.

  • 2

    QR Code

    Every package comes with a QR code. Show it at the counter and the cashier scans a credit off — no card, no cash, no account lookup.

  • 3

    Meal Credit Tracking

    Your remaining balance is on the receipt and in your account, and the cashier can tell you what is left any time you ask.

  • 4

    Expiration Dates

    Every package carries a clear expiry printed on the receipt — the end of the semester for student packages, the end of the academic year for faculty. No surprise forfeitures.

  • 5

    Online Purchase Capability

    Buy in a couple of minutes online. Payment is processed by Toast, never on this website, and the QR code reaches you straight away.

  • Package questions

    How credits actually work

  • How do I redeem a meal credit?

    Show the QR code from your package at the counter and the cashier scans one credit off your balance. You do not need a physical card, a campus ID or an account lookup — the code on your phone is enough.

  • What happens to credits I do not use?

    Student packages are valid through the end of the semester and faculty packages through the end of the academic year. The expiry date is printed on your receipt when you buy, so there are no surprises. Contact the café team before your expiry if you have a balance left and we will work something out.

  • Can a department buy packages for staff or guests?

    Yes. The Faculty Meal Package supports department billing and credits are transferable within a department. For visitor and event use, prepaid meal tickets are usually a better fit — get in touch and we will point you to the right one.

  • Can I use a meal package with rewards points?

    Yes. Meal package purchases earn rewards points like any other order, and redeeming a credit does not affect the points you have already banked. Rewards and packages are designed to stack.
