Your food and nutrition department is critical not only to student satisfaction but your student’s health and wellness. It also promotes a strong sense of community. Food is something everyone is an expert at and today’s diverse population makes it more challenging for you to meet student, faculty and staff dining needs.

How do you address those items when meeting financial requirement, provide variety and healthy food, decrease food waste, and meet your financial goals?
