As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic world continues to change how we approach nearly everything, the COVID-19: Assuring Customer Confidence – A Guide for Collegiate Dining is designed to be an up-to-date resource for collegiate dining services. The guide, published by the National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) provides resources specifically focused on colleges and universities, but also recognizes the entire restaurant and foodservice industry’s contribution to managing the constant changes COVID-19 presents to us each and every day.

The guide is designed to be utilized as you plan, implement, and train for potentially new foodservice models. Never has college and university foodservice seen such dramatic changes in such a short period of time. There are resources for reopening, guides, and documents to help you maintain your quality operations.

In addition, the guide will also focus on information to consider communicating as well as communication strategies and best practices for communicating with your customers. Communication is a prime ingredient in gaining customer confidence, therefore being transparent and presenting the facts is one of the greatest ways to assure and motivate confidence in customers who are dining outside their homes.

The digital guide will be continuously updated as the COVID-19 environment continues to evolve.

The COVID-19: Assuring Customer Confidence – A Guide for Collegiate Dining is available to all collegiate foodservice professionals regardless of NACUFS membership.
