OtterWare
We are excited to relaunch OtterWare in September!
For your upcoming event or study session, make sure to use the free OtterWare program available through CSUMB Dining Services. This program allows CSUMB student to borrow reusable plates, cups, and utensils from the Dining Commons. With OtterWare, your events can be budget-friendly and waste-free!
How to reserve your OtterWare
To reserve your OtterWare, please call us at 831-582-4598 or stop by the Dining Commons during business hours. We ask that you make OtterWare reservations a minimum of two days in advance and require:

Plates, cups, forks, butter knives, and spoons.
We keep an inventory of about 100 of each item.
At the Dining Commons front desk.
OtterWare must be returned to the DC within 24 hours of use.
Bring the OtterWare, free of food debris, back to the Dining Commons to be checked back in and washed.
You will be responsible to pay for missing plates, cups, or silverware.
Plates - $5 each | Cups - $3 each | Silverware - $1 each
Otterware is for students and student groups or clubs only. If your group is comprised of only students and is not funded by the university, we would love for you to use OtterWare! If your group is funded by the university or is comprised or non-students, please contact catering for China rental: 831-582-4598.
OtterWare and Catering are two separate things. If you are a student and meet the above guidelines, you can reserve OtterWare at the DC and pick up the OtterWare for your event.
