In my proposal plan I recommend that the average wait time at each food station in the café be decreased, especially during high rush hour time for example during the lunch and dinner rushes. We can help reduce the time by having servers make up pre portioned plates that way students can grab and go instead of wait in a line for upwards of thirty minutes for cold food. We can also have different food options added that serve different options because as of now the food lines operate on a schedule with the same food options every week. Another recommendation would to be expanded the cafeteria as a whole. As of now Howard University as roughly 10,000 undergraduate students, the cafeteria can barely hold 800 students comfortably. This will …show more content…
I also learned that during peak hours of operation at both cafeterias the same amounts of workers are on duty, to deal with the mass volumes of students. Students find that when they receive their meals the food is often cold which is a health concern when food is not properly heated. This can cause other concerns for student health for example food poisoning, which I reluctantly got from eating food from the Howard university cafeteria. Some of the alternatives that I propose are to increase the amount of workers during rush hour times to decrease the wait time. Also increase food options in what is Howard’s food court “Punch Out," Determining what changes to the current system that will be most effective above will have to be analyzed in a most cost effective way.
To asses the current situation at the annex and Blackburn cafeteria, I would like to use a simulation or decision-making model to see if my proposal would be a particle plan. The simulations will what we do not know as opposed to the information we already know. The simulations will allow us to test what effect a change will have on the current system of reaching out in the community around Howard University while also fixing the problem internally. The model relies on the strength of the opinions of the student body and faculty members on the practicality of the situation. It will replicate the
For example, our school only has two microwave for the students to use and one more in the classroom if they teacher will let us if the students need to head of food. Their also two mini fridges that are for teachers and students and somethings who just have to get their early if you want a spot in the drug for your food. Some kids are tired of fight for a spot in the fridge and go across the street before school and get a sandwich to avoid being apart of this mess. This causing students to not eat because they are not liking their choices. Our school does have online lunch where we will get food to come to our school but you have to order it days before and what if you chance you're mind and then don't it, moment is going down the drain. Some kids forget their lunch and are left with food that they don't like or just need it because food is getting expansive.t also allows kids to try new food and students can enjoy new food with their friends. This option for kids to go off campus wouldn't be for everyone but would be open
Students are busy with classes, athletic practices, clubs and organizations, and other important activities. Because of this, they need dining services that will work around their hours. Since on campus dining may be the only way for some students to eat, it is essential that they are able to make it to the facilities before it closes. If students do not make it in time to eat it can affect the way they function for the rest of the day, which can negatively affect their performance in class, athletics and other activities.
The food court revenues are declining because the food options are not appealing to MC students. Students like the options that are quick to order and obtained food, while maintaining the food quality. They like the option of customizing their foods. Therefore, build your own options can be very appealing to MC students because its very customizable, reduces the wait time to order and obtained the food and the quality of the food will be on par to what students are looking for. The environment is another factor that is lacking because its less attractive seating. The seating needs to be comfortable and attractive. A mix of booths and tables will create an attractive yet comfortable environment for student to sit and eat in. By changing the food
Food plays an important role in our lives, especially in college. Food affects people financially, nutritionally, and educationally. The dining halls at Virginia State University are a major source of meals and food for students. Needless to say, it is important that those students can eat at these dining halls. The problem with this is that the cost of campus dining is way too expensive for the limited options we have.
For many previous years, Anaheim High school has had a couple lunch system changes finally settling on two lunches, both being half an hour long. With both lunches only being half an hour long, for certain, more than one thousand students being in each, imagine the lunch lines! Making line to get your lunch takes already about fifteen minutes, half of a person’s time already, which leaves little time for a student to enjoy their so called meal and free time with friends.Based on other student’s experiences dealing with school lunch, one can rightfully assume that high schoolers would much rather hold in their hunger until after school rather than have the food being provided. There is not a single day that goes by in which a high schooler does not complain about the “worst than jail” food being served to them. This proposal will go into detail about why having an hour off-campus lunch can increase healthier eating habits between the undergraduates of Anahiem High School. In this layout, you will read about the issue of why we believe off- campus lunch would be a healthier choice for Anaheim High school students, you will also encounter our plan of how we intend to carry out this idea, what exactly needs to be done, with the help of who, and so on.
Here at Hebron we have more than 2000 students on the main campus and our campus is far too small to accommodate that many students at once for lunch. We have very few lunch lines and all the lines are always packed full of people. And a solution to this would be to simply allow students to go off campus for lunch, with restrictions however of course. I believe that only Juniors and Seniors with a car should be allowed to go off campus for lunch. As most sophomores are fairly new drivers and including them would be too much traffic to handle in the parking lots. With the the addition of off campus lunch you would solve a multitude of problems at once and make things easier for you and the school staff.
High school food options raise problems for students. School lunches may not be the cheapest option for the students or the district. According to "Duluth high school principals want to stick with open campuses," Duluth’s principal, Tonya Sconiers, opposes a closed campus because of the financial burden. This program change would cost the school approximately $239,000 to supply what would be needed for the new food policy. In addition, the lunches provided by the school lack quality. Students report the food as bland, and portion size is not enough to fuel for the entire school day. Numerous students involved in after-school activities cannot perform their best without a sufficient amount food in their stomachs. The food should provide energy for the students throughout the day. For low-income students, this lunch might be the only reliable daily meal.
An open campus lunch program is when, during the lunch period, students are permitted to leave campus and get lunch from local businesses or even home. At Urbana High School we currently have four lunch shifts, during which students pack or buy lunches. I believe Frederick County Public Schools should start an open campus lunch program for seniors because the school lunches are not healthy enough or appealing and do not have enough lunch options. The benefits that could come from this program go beyond the happiness of the seniors, they will reach the classrooms, staff members, and community.
It would have more choices for lunch. Many students may like tacos, pizza, or a sub sandwich for lunch it all depends on what they like. If students want something that the school may not have they could go out and get what they want from somewhere else. Many
Café D Pownd is a campus cafeteria, which serves 450 students and faculty, on the campus at the National Academy of Liberal Arts. The Café’s busiest time is at dinner time, where two thirds of the residents are expected to be served between 5:00 and 6:30 pm. The café serves meals, beverages, salads, desserts sandwiches and other snacks. Most students pay with their student meal cards. The Café is designed with three waiting lines, L1, L2 and L3. Line one is for the pre-cooked meals, and it provides a menu of its items. L2 is for the interactive cooking station and the students get to pick what they want to be cooked at that time. L3 is designated for the payment of meals. They have numerous complaints
Students with special food allergies could leave campus during lunch and go to their homes and get food they could actually can eat and not be worried that their food could have been cross contaminated to something they're allergic to. For example students with celiac disease have a higher chance of getting their food cross contaminated. When cafeteria workers prepare food on a counter or cutting board either they can forget to wash it or they
ways that school lunches can be improved, but the most effective ideas are by improving the
Changing the type of food to incorporate delectable choices for students that aids the young palate. Another topic of discussion would be school expenses for other educational supplies that have other important use like desk or electronics that would often need replacement from overuse. With the increase in savings, the school could also explore different options for those students who do not meet open campus policy requirements. Disregarding the teens who are not off campus during lunch to have similar advantages; thus, no food is wasted and the process will become
Students could leave campus, get food, and be back for time given from the school. If students could leave campus to get either a restaurant, get food at home or a fast food restaurant the food would be so much better than the schools food. Students could go to a small restaurant tor a diner. Students could go home and make their selves food. They could go to fast foods restaurants around the area such as McDonald’s, Hardee’s, or Subway. As long as students are back within the amount of time given students should be able to leave campus to get food. School lunches are not healthy for students most of the time. You do not know what the food they are serving you is half the time. If students were allowed to leave school for lunch it would give them a little bit of freedom for an hour. If they could leave campus for lunch it gives them a chance to have a break from their classes. Many students tend to fall asleep in class, if they could have an hour lunch break they could go home eat and rest for a little while. Students may feel trapped staying in one place for 8 hours. Many students also get bored sitting in classes for so long leaving for lunch give them the chance to move around and get out of
To many, Northeastern’s dining halls rank fairly well in comparison with other schools. Although there have been many complaints that the menu is rarely changed, Northeastern does tend to offer a varied selection of food. In a recent survey, students were asked to rate Northeastern’s dining halls on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best. About 36 percent surveyed ranked the food a “3” and about 57 percent ranked it a “4.” In general, Northeastern students think decent things about the dining halls. Some of the complaints however, included that there are a lot of fried and fattening foods, repetitive menus, and that vegetarian food is not always readily available; you sometimes have to wait for it to be cooked for you (e.g., veggie burgers).
