"Going Green" on Campus

 

The difference with today's generation and how they dine is the technology they use, the flavors they’ll try, and the familiarity they have with restaurants.  Dining out is not necessarily viewed as a special occasion anymore, due to multiple reasons:

      • They grew up dining out regularly.
      • The time pressures of today’s lifestyles create more of a need for it.
  • Casual attire is accepted in most restaurants these days, making it more comfortable and convenient to dine out.   

 

College is a unique environment where students are exposed to new friends, new cultures and new foods.  Their varied tastes, understanding of value, and desire for sustainability continue to raise the bar for both on and off campus restaurants. Here are some of the expectations that top the students’ list:

 

• Healthy choices
• Menu variety
• Quality ingredients & freshness
• Good value
• Sustainability of products & food
• Cleanliness
• Prompt and friendly Service 
• Extended hours of operation
• Atmosphere

With all of the social media and information readily available, it is no wonder they want the best of everything.  Yelp, Facebook, Texting, and Google are just a few tools they will use in their decision making process.  It’s a competitive market that continues to evolve, but you can count on Hoffmaster for help.
