One & All is designed to feature modern flavors and craveable foods perfectly suited to today’s students, but serving college campuses also means staying ready to adapt to changing demands. New students arrive on campus each year, of course, bringing their own expectations and perspectives. But with young people, change can happen even faster. What’s popular at the beginning of the semester might be old news before final exams, with a hot new culinary trend quickly taking over.  

In addition, students often eat most of their meals on campus, every day, for months or even years. It’s understandable that they may start to get tired of eating the same foods, and it’s no wonder Sodexo’s internal research reveals that 73% of students say variety in the dining hall helps them enjoy meals more. Given the critical role dining plays in student belonging and success, one of the top goals of any dining program should be to keep things fresh and engaging. The Sodexo culinary team is doing just that, leveraging student feedback, data and other insights to ensure campus dining programs align with students’ needs and encourage engagement.
