How it works
Set it once. Eat well every day.
- 1
Tell it what you're after

It does the homework
Every night, Bento reads tomorrow's menu and labels at your halls and builds your plates.
- 3
Grab and go
Open it on the way in: what to get, how much, and which line to hit first.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is it free?
Totally free during the beta.
Is this from the university?
Nope. Bento is built by a UIUC student and isn't affiliated with University Housing or Dining. It just reads the menus Dining already posts.
What about allergies?
Anything labeled with your allergens stays off your plate. Labels can miss things and kitchens share equipment, so double-check with staff if it's serious.
I don't eat every meal at the dining hall.
No problem. Tell Bento which meals you eat elsewhere and it plans the rest of your day around them.
