Technomic's latest report on the college and university segment suggests that 69% of students are purchasing food and beverage from on-campus foodservice facilities once a week or more often.
July 1/Chicago/Technomic -- Technomic's latest report on the college and university segment suggests that 69% of students are purchasing food and beverage from on-campus foodservice facilities once a week or more often. This represents a near return to 2009 on-campus patronage levels of 71%, following a dip to just 62% of students polled in 2011.
Technomic’s most recent "College & University Consumer Trend Report" found that just 35% of students overall say they are satisfied with their school's dining program. Some 44% of students surveyed -- and more than half of on-campus residents (57%) -- wish their school had grocery stores where they could shop using their meal plan.
