DFC Dining policies:

The following are the reservation and dining policies at the Daniel Family Commons.  These have been formulated so everyone can have the best possible experience:

 -Reservations for the Daniel Family Commons (DFC) should be made by emailing: dfcreservations@wesleyan.edu at least two business days in advance but not more than two weeks in advance. Students may not make reservations for the DFC.

 -Table capacity is 6 max so reservations should be planned accordingly. Furniture will not be moved to accommodate larger groups as this affects the rest of the dining period and patrons.

 - departments may not reserve more than one table per day so that all guests may be accomodated.

-If you must cancel a reservation, please do so no later than 10am on the day of your reservation so that others may access the held table. Cancellations should be sent to the same email as reservations.

-The Faculty-Student program is one where faculty are encouraged to bring up to 3 students with them to continue conversations from class.  The host faculty member must be present with the students for the meal and they must arrive together.  They must present their ID for verification to the Cashier who will make a note of the name and WesID of the faculty.  The Cashier will then charge the lunches to a card they have at the register which is covered by the University.  If the faculty member brings more than three students, the department will be charged, HOWEVER, since the space is specifically for faculty and staff, plans should never be made to bring more than 3 students.  Larger groups should plan on eating in Usdan Marketplace.

-Groups not utilizing the Faculty-Student program can still enjoy the DFC and use credit, Middletown cash, and university P-cards.  Reservations should be made for these groups and should not exceed 6.

-Student meal plans and faculty/staff meal swipes will not work in the DFC

-Reservations for larger groups will only be considered for special holiday lunches and other rare occasions in consultation with the Director of Auxiliary Services and only once a smartkey has been provided to confirm the the reservation.

-Faculty wishing to share a meal with a larger group of students should plan to do so by utilizing one of their free meal swipes at the Usdan Marketplace. Table reservations are not available in Marketplace but unless you plan on dining during peak periods (11:45-1pm) there should be plenty of seating.
