Introduction: The school environment plays an important role in nurturing and sustaining good eating habits (http://www.hpb.gov.sg/Hopportal/health-article/2818). This became the basis for the researchers to focus on the problem regarding the functionality of the school cafeteria facilities and the satisfaction of the students toward it. The researches chose to study the given topic to find out if the school cafeteria meets the satisfaction of the students in terms of nutritional value of products, its marketability or cost, sanitation of the facilities and its adequacy and for the cafeteria to be informed on the things that they must improve in their services.
