Customer Satisfaction Survey

Top 3 Requested Improvements

• More Vegetarian / Vegan / Gluten Free

– Response: With the Taos Renovation in Summer of 2012 a station was designated as “The

Wild Mushroom” which focused on these areas. A “Did you know” campaign was launched

this past year to help students realize this station as well as other aspects of our food service

such as local purchases, sustainability measures, and nutritional awareness.

• Limited Weekend Service Hours

– Response: Students had concerns with the brunch time from 10 am to 2 pm as well as they

wanted more lunch offerings later in the brunch time. Sodexo was able to accommodate this

request by adjusting the hours to 7 pm and add more lunch time offerings.

• More Menu Variety

– Response: Sodexo introduced their “Fresh Too” program with more choices, less repetition of

menus and always including a “fresh” option. The students later asked Sodexo to amend this

program so that the burger and pizza stations remain a staple.
