Joining Our Dynamic Team

Campus Dining employs approximately 1,500 people, including about 1,100 students each year, across 32 restaurants and markets throughout Cal Poly. The dynamic and fast-paced work includes a high volume of transactions and large production. It takes a ton of energy and a sturdy pair of shoes to serve 20,000 guests every day.

Campus Dining is a part of the Cal Poly Corporation, a self-supporting nonprofit created to support the university in its academic mission. Feeding the campus is a very important part of that mission. Campus Dining’s role is to make sure students get the food and nourishment they need to succeed in the classroom, lab, playing field and life. We do this by providing delicious, nutrient-dense food and friendly service.

We know happy employees make happy customers. So we strive to maintain an environment where employees enjoy coming to work every day.
