resident dining menu micro-strategy will be determined by the specific needs of each campus. The menu portfolio has been engineered for modularity so that it can be tailored to optimize the guest experience, regardless of the service model changes that the “new normal” may bring to campus life.
The menu is designed to be able to expand or contract, based on current conditions and client expectations, as they evolve in real-time. Each menu module contains vegan, vegetarian and allergen-free options, and each added module layers more variety and guest choice on the modules already in place. Packaging and labeling for all Grab & Go options have been selected to optimize the guest experience, whether the mode of service is takeaway or delivery.
