CONCLUSIONS
1. From the survey conducted, we concluded that the average customers visitingfrequencies to Common Place in a week is 1 - 5 times, which is about one visit
per day. This is considerably low because most of the students in Sunway
University College have study hours from the morning to afternoon, which means
they should have spent 2 meals in the campus.
2. The price of food sold in Common Place is considerably moderate according to
the ratings of the customers. This shows that the price can be generally accepted
by most of the students and staff members of Sunway University College.
3. The taste of the food sold in Common Place is average according to the
customers ratings. The taste of the food sold is acceptable by the majority of the
students and staff members.
4. Most of the customers claimed that the environment of Common Place is hot and
stuffy. Some of them also said that the place is dark and the lighting is quite dim.
The customers find the environment unfavourable and uncomfortable.
5. More than half of the customers said that the staff members of Common Place are
only a little friendly towards them. This situation caused the customers to feel
unwelcomed, thus decreasing their visits to Common Place.
6. Although the price of the food is reasonable for most of the customers, the
portion of food provided is not worth the price they paid. The food given issometimes too little from what is expected for the price charged on the customers.
7. About half of the customers claimed that the choices of food sold in Common
Place is just enough for them, whereas another half of the customers said that the
variety of food sold is insufficient. The customers got tired of the same old food
in a short time, thus decided not to visit the Common Place often.
8. From the ratings given by the customers, the service provided in Common Place
is quite poor with an average rating of 2, where 1 as the poorest and 5 as the best.
This is because sometimes only one cash register will be opened for service at the
counter during peak hours, causing the customers to queue up for a long time.
9. The cleanliness rating given by the customers is also quite poor, with an average
rating of 2, where 1 as the poorest and 5 as the best. Although there were no
rubbish and trash on the floor, some customers found pieces of hair in their food
and felt disgusted by it.
10. There are also complaints from the customers that there was not enough food
prepared early in the morning for sale, causing insufficient choices of food for
breakfast.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Some of the food sold in the Common Place should be reduced in price, so thatthe price is affordable for everyone. The portion of food given for a certain price
should be larger, so that it is worth the price paid by the customers. Example, a
piece of chicken drumstick should be charged RM2.00 instead of RM3.00.
2. The taste of the food sold should be improved. Chefs should be sent for trainings
to produce higher quality food with better taste. It is suggested by the customers
that new cooks should be hired to provide more delicious food.
3. The environment should be enhanced by repainting the walls and ceilings of the
canteen with brighter colours, so that the surroundings look brighter. Exhaust
fans should be placed to improve air ventilation in Common Place so that it will
not be hot and stuffy.
4. The staff members of Common Place should be friendlier towards the customers.
They should smile more often during their service so that the customers will feel
welcomed. Rewards should also be given to the Best Staff Member of the Year
to encourage them to work with higher commitment.
5. The variety of food and drinks sold should also be increased to meet the
customers demand. More breads and sandwiches should be prepared early in the
morning to provide the customers with sufficient food for breakfast. It is also
suggested by the customers that more Western Food should be provided as there
are very limited choices on Western Food in Common Place.
6. Service provided in Common Place should be enhanced. New cash registers
should be added to the counter and more staff members should be hired so that
there will not be a long queue during peak hours. The customers suggested that
uniforms should be worn by the staff members to demonstrate professionalism in
their work.
7. The cleanliness of the food sold in Common place should be highly improved.
Staff members who are preparing the food for the customers should not be
collecting cash at the same time. Staff members should also take greater carewhen preparing the food to prevent dirt or hair to be found in the food.
