Canteen news
Listening to our Members
While ASCA speaks to our members at many trade shows and smaller network meetings in the regions, we welcome hearing from our members about which of our services are most valued and where we can make improvements. So we thank all of you that took the time to complete our recent member survey.
Canteens that are growing have implemented better menu choices; balancing student demand and prudent economics. They have also taken advantage of the benefits of their ASCA membership, and have implemented online ordering and cashless payment systems for parents and students.
There was much useful information which we will act on. It was good to hear that over a third of member school canteens are becoming more successful, with more students using the school canteen, and profits increasing. However, a similar number are moving in the opposite direction; due to costof-living pressures, restrictions on menu choices due government guidelines, and lack of staff resources and volunteers.
Over 60% of our survey respondents prefer accessing ASCA Canteen Newsletters online, whereas 20% prefer the hard copy newsletter. We will investigate making our online newsletters easier to read, as this is more environmentally sustainable, and we can be more certain that you are getting the newsletters on time.
Please let your Area Manager know when you have ideas for new or improved services from us. We look forward to hearing from you.
