Food & Beverage Student Engagement

Schools and universities are a place where students spend 6-8 hours of their day here. Studies and physical activities can exhaust the minds of students and tire them out. To relax and unwind, educational institutions need to have a great cafeteria. Students eagerly look forward to lunch breaks to spend their time in cafeterias, eat their meals, and hang out with their friends. One important aspect to note here is that lunch breaks are time-bound. That is why it is necessary to apply a strategy where students can grab their lunches in a decent time-frame, get a table to sit and eat their lunches, and talk with their friends. The rotation time of the food coming from the kitchen and the coordination of the kitchen and cafeteria staff can play a major role in shortening queues and wait times. To make this happen an efficient commercial kitchen set-up must be in place for the kitchen staff to prepare the food and rotate it to the cafeteria staff. Waiting is still a problem point as students from different classes come together at one time for their lunch break. During this time, the cafeteria staff can play a role in engaging the students in a conversation of health and nutrition, at the same time collecting feedback on how the food quality can further improve.

From the perspective of the educational institution, the administration must focus on constructing a good commercial kitchen set-up apt for handling the quantities of student food requirements and varieties. Good commercial kitchen design needs to be in place keeping the demands and pressure points of a school in mind.
