Purpose
The purpose of this report is to propose a plan to renovate the cafeteria at DeVry University campus in Addison so it can be more appealing and inviting to current and new student.
Procedure
Over the past 4 weeks we have done extensive research electronically to obtain information about furniture, TV’s, computer, printers, vending and coffee machine. We have utilized different websites such as Walmart.com and Bedbath&beyond.com for furniture’s. To get new and updated computers and printers we have looked into e-bay.com. We also looked into Amazon.com to get TV’s for a reasonable price. Our team contacted Hometown venting machine to get prices on different types of vending machines and the cost of the installation and maintenance fee. We also did a survey using the DeVry students and asked them how to make the cafeteria area a more inviting place for them to spend more time in it.
Problem
The DeVry Addison campus has only one cafeteria for all the students who attend DeVry to spend their time between classed to take a break, socialize, eat lunch or do some quick assignment. One of the problems with the cafeteria right now is that it looks very bland and not inviting. As soon as you enter into the cafeteria you are welcomed by big orange garbage bin and all you can see is gray walls, gray carpet and gray chairs. Gray is a very unemotional color that brings you spirit down. Imagine a sunless winter day spend at the cafeteria. It will depress you even more.
Most of the students that we asked said that one of the main reasons why they go to the cafeteria is to grab something to eat. The food that is currently offered at Herman’s Hideaway Café is very generic and it does not have a lot of healthy value. Most students have a bad healthy eating habit and not a lot of time in their hand so it would be beneficial if the cafeteria offered more health foods. Fruits, veggies, low fat products or instead of a burger a veggie burger
