CATERING— ONLINE MENU
GRAND PRIZE:
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS In the 2010-2011 school year, the University of Kansas’ Dining Services showcased an extensive and comprehensive online catering menu. The KU “Catering Guide” is an annual publication created by KU Catering, an extension of University of Kansas’ Dining Services. The Catering Guide can be viewed online in an easy-to-use, aesthetically pleasing “flip book” format and hosts are able to select package menus or create their own meal for an event. KU Catering worked to make their offerings very customizable, tailoring menus to work for almost every service level and budget. More than 75 percent of the menu offerings are able to be made in-house at an event, allowing the hosts increased flexibility in choice and scheduling. KU Catering’s goal is to make each event it hosts something special and uniquely memorable. Some of their metrics of success include high employee retention as well as positive post-event customer satisfaction analysis.
