STARAwards^® helps self-operated college and university foodservice departments increase professional development budgets through purchasing products they use, and brands they prefer, from sponsors who support the professional development of their department.

No matter who the distributor is, colleges and universities can earn professional development funds for qualifying purchases of participating sponsor products. For members that are U.S. Foodservice customers, U.S. Foodservice will provide real-time purchase data directly and automatically to the STARAwards^® program, eliminating the need for U.S. Foodservice customers to do anything extra to earn funds for professional development expenses in the STARAwards^® program. This exclusive partnership saves U.S. Foodservice customers HOURS of work every month.

Members who use other distributors (e.g., Ben E. Keith, Glazier Foods, Gordon Food Service, John Gross, Martin Bros., PFG, Sysco, etc.) can submit online or mail their submissions to us.
