Best Food & Beverage Initiative

Food and beverage operations are the powerhouses of many campus service organisations, providing the sorts of gathering spaces and nourishing offers integral to hungry campus communities! Members must continually adapt, evolve, and challenge the norms of these operations to accommodate the ever-changing environment and meet the ongoing needs of their students and customers.

An excellent Food and Beverage Initiative recognises the opportunities presented to adapt and evolve any offer or outlet and responds accordingly. It will be creative and collaborative, provide access to appropriate forms of sustenance, and be engaging and supportive of its campus activities, customers, and communities.

This award celebrates excellence in Food & Beverage Initiatives being delivered by a member organisation in 2023/24. Initiatives can be new or established and held on or off-campus, or online.

Initiatives can include but are not limited to: student support packages, product awareness or development, adaptations to changing consumer needs, maintaining presence and relevance, meeting consumer requests, reinvigorating an outlet offer or offering special deals, and supporting campus community engagement activities.
