The problems and current status of university cafeterias are as follows:

Problem #1: Hygiene

Hygiene is one of the most complained about issues in campus cafeterias. During peak times, cafeterias tend to be overcrowded, making them more difficult to clean and enforce sanitation standards. While cafeterias are cleaned before they close each day, they are often impossible to clean or keep clean during peak hours.

Recommendation: to address sanitation issues, campus cafeterias should work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop comprehensive sanitation standards and programs. These standards should form the basis of the campus cafeteria's culture, including how food is used for storage and reheating, how patrons are greeted and how cleanliness in the kitchen is maintained. This will maximize sanitation in the cafeteria and lead to greater student trust in cafeteria food.

Issue 2: Food quality

Food quality is another common complaint. Cafeteria menus usually have few new choices and are rarely of good quality. Problems such as using expired ingredients or using too much MSG are very common due to the lack of flexibility in menus and user taste preferences.

Recommendation: To address the food quality issue, campus cafeterias should change their menus and and ingredients on a regular basis to provide healthier and fresher dining options. In addition, measures should be put in place to ensure that the food is legal and healthy. These commitments will greatly improve food quality, attract customers, and increase user satisfaction.

Problem 3: Expensive

Because of the high cost of operating a cafeteria, the price of food in some campus cafeterias has been complained to be too expensive. In this way, many college students may possess the feeling that the price of the campus cafeteria exceeds their spending budget.

Suggestion: the solution to the price problem is to develop a reasonable menu pricing policy and budget-friendly dining options. By offering lower priced meals or specialized student packages campus cafeterias can attract more customers. At all times, students' financial budgetary concerns should be taken into account so that they leave the cafeteria satisfied.
