About Yale Hospitality

About Us

Our Purpose

At Yale Hospitality, we blend cultures, wisdom and global cuisines to create moments of comfort, community and inspiration.

Each meal creates meaningful connections and cherished memories that nourish our community and propels us towards our fullest potential.

Our Operations

With over 23 residential and retail dining operations and dedicated catering services – our talented culinary, management and administrative staff touch the lives of students, employees, and visitors year after year. 

Recognizing the Big Picture

We recognize that our food choices not only make an impact locally – but globally. That’s why we’re proud to source and partner with local vendors as much as possible – and support community food pantries and organizations to close the hunger gap in the New Haven area. We’ve also had the opportunity to partner with peers within the industry – including collaborating on the “Ingredients for a Sustainable World: The Chef’s Good Food Handbook” and the Food Forward Forum in 2019 with the Good Food Fund in China, and partnering with the Mediterranean Diet Roundtable for delicious and sustainable choices.

With each passing year, we challenge ourselves to raise the bar in continuing to exemplify excellence in our food, operations and service. The future looks bright with opportunities to further our commitment to sustainability & plant-forward menus, leveraging technology to increase efficiencies and reduce waste, continued training programs, and setting trends with innovations and launches.
