Better Food Foundation’s Post

Proud to share this inspiring project by Cini-Little's Senior Project Manager, Armand Iaia, showcasing how modern foodservice design can transform traditional campus spaces into vibrant community hubs. The Commons at Western Kentucky University demonstrates how thoughtful integration of dining and collaborative spaces can revolutionize the student experience. It's a perfect example of how Cini-Little's approach goes beyond just kitchen design to create environments that truly enhance campus life. Kudos to Armand and the entire project team for reimagining what a university library can be. This is the future of campus planning – where food brings people together and spaces adapt to serve multiple purposes. Check out the full feature in FCSI The Americas' "Project Showcase: The Art of Culinary Spaces" to see how innovative design can transform campus communities. #HigherEducation #FoodServiceDesign #CampusPlanning #Innovation #StudentExperience #CiniLittle #MyFCSI

Ghost Kitchens are impacting University Life‼️ 💡Imagine a kitchen that exists solely to prepare food for delivery or pickup, with no dining area, no wait staff, and no physical interaction with customers. 💡This is the ghost kitchen: a culinary concept focused entirely on serving the campus community through digital orders. 💡Far from the traditional campus eateries, these kitchens operate behind the scenes, efficiently catering to the diverse tastes and dietary needs of students and staff. The Value They Bring‼️ Ghost kitchens are not just a novel concept; they’re a strategic response to the evolving demands of campus life: ✅Diversity in Dining: They offer an array of culinary options, from comfort food to international dishes, all from a single operation point. ✅Convenience and Efficiency: For students cramming for exams or faculty between classes, these kitchens provide quick and easy access to food without the need to visit a dining hall. ✅Health and Safety: By reducing the need for crowded dining spaces, ghost kitchens offer a safer alternative for eating, crucial during health crises. ✅Culinary Innovation: With the flexibility to change menus and test new concepts, ghost kitchens can quickly adapt to trends and preferences, keeping campus dining exciting and varied. #universitycatering #cateringconsultant #cateringprocurement

Students can buy these reusable containers using meal points, dining dollars, cash or card at the dining halls. Currently, more than 1,400 boxes have already been purchased. Given that single-use containers cost 50 cents each time, the reusable option is a more cost-effective solution for students who frequently opt for take-out. #sustainableUH
