Research Project on Customer Satisfaction Surveys 2
Background
From the start of my time working at Delaware Valley University I was made aware how
important the students feedback is to the employees and management working in the
kitchen. The students continuous feedback drives the staff to make changes to the menu
on a daily basis and look for new ways to create different meals to serve on campus.
Even after my first 2 weeks working at Del Val I noticed how the students interacted
positively with the staff, comment and compliment the foods being presented and even
make jokes or share new ideas of items they hope to see in the dining hall in the future. I
knew I would not be short on information by choosing to look more into the students
satisfaction with food on campus. Furthermore, I had yet to complete or analyze a
Customer Satisfaction Survey and wanted to take this opportunity to try something new
during the final weeks of my Food Systems Management rotation.

Discussion
One improvement that was noted since last semester is that participation with surveys has
improved as the students have continued to noticed changes being made after providing
their input through surveys. In addition, as evidenced by the charts provided that display
data from previous semester, overall quality of food and service scores have continued to
improve. I feel that is directly related to the quality of staff being hired by Parkhurst at
Del Val. Also, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian, vegan and
gluten free options provided on a daily basis in the dining hall. These options for
students who may have dietary restrictions could also contribute to the higher scores on
the customer surveys as it shows that Parkhurst is willing to accommodate to any diet
needs or preferences.
