Gael Combo & Flex Dollars

The Gael Combo is the upgraded way to use your meal swipe at Café Louis and The 1928 Pub — designed to give you more value and a better dining experience. Every swipe now brings you a complete meal. With ordering from our Gael Combo Menu, you’ll enjoy a full, balanced meal that keeps you fueled for classes, studying, and everything campus life throws your way. One swipe goes further, making it easier (and tastier!) to get the most out of your meal plan every day. You can always use your Flex or Board Points to grab your favorites!

Keep in mind that if you use a meal swipe in Oliver Hall during a meal period, you won’t be able to use another swipe from your meal plan at the Coffee Shop or Pub during that same meal period — and vice versa. This is called a meal equivalency.

Looking for a smaller meal plan?

In addition to various meal plans, you can also load flex dollars onto your SMC ID to use across our dining locations as well as select local restaurants and GrubHub (where you can link your Grubhub account to your ID to get free deliveries on orders of $18!).

If you are looking for something smaller than the 75 block plan, it could be a good idea to add flex dollars to your ID card in increments of $25 to use as a "swipe," where you'll receive discounted meals in Oliver Hall when compared to paying with a credit card/cash (see below).

You can add flex to supplement your meal plan as well, and self-loaded flex will remain on your ID card for as long as you're a student (unlike the board flex dollars that come with the 5/7 day meal plans). Cash vs Flex Costs

When you pay with Flex dollars instead of using cash or a credit card, you'll pay a reduced cost when dining at Oliver.

Breakfast: Cash: $11 – Flex: $8.58 Lunch: Cash: $12.06 – Flex: $9.26

Dinner: Cash: $13.86 – Flex: $11.74
