This printable school cafeteria survey helps schools collect honest feedback from students about their lunchtime experience across 13 questions on two easy-to-scan pages. It reaches every student, including those who never check email, and takes about two minutes to complete.
What this survey measures
The questions cover the parts of the cafeteria experience that shape whether students eat and enjoy their meals: how the food tastes, whether healthy choices are available, how much variety and how large the portions are, how friendly the staff feel, and how clean the dining area is. Further questions rate taste, freshness, and drinks, check value for money and dietary needs, and measure how often students eat in the cafeteria, how long they wait, and how they rate the dining area. Two open comment boxes invite students to suggest new foods and the one change that would help most.
How to use it on paper
Hand the survey out at the end of lunch service, leave copies on the cafeteria tables with a drop box near the exit, or distribute them in homeroom. Students fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the checkbox answers with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten menu suggestions to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard with no manual data entry.
