Dining Teams
We partner with Dining Teams to identify practical, cost-saving plant-forward opportunities tailored to each institution’s needs. Our student-powered insights and procurement-focused guidance help improve operations, strengthen menu satisfaction, and support Scope 3 emissions goals—without adding to your workload. If you’d like to share a success story or explore a pilot collaboration, reach out to us at admin@upgradedining.org
We recognise that each university operates with its own interests and constraints. We work with Dining Teams to discover how plant-based can improve operations, reduces costs, and meet scope-3 emissions targets. Additionally, if you have any success stories you'd like to share, contact us at: admin@upgradedining.org

What We Offer
"The collaboration between Upgrade and Michigan Dining is a significant step toward promoting sustainable food practices on campus. This initiative supports the University of Michigan's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, as plant-based diets have been shown to have a lower environmental impact compared to meat-based diets. Additionally, offering diverse and healthy plant-based options empowers students to make food choices that can lead to lifelong positive health outcomes and wellness."
