Campus food service intake that captures daily headcount up front
The intake asks about institution type, daily headcount, meal periods, and existing kitchen access before anything lands in your inbox, so you can see feasibility before you quote. Kitchen photos and dietary details come in with the enquiry, not after the tasting is booked.

What a qualified campus food service lead should tell you

- Meal Periods Be Covered
- There Known Dietary Restrictions
- Food Service Begin
- Authorized Approve Food Service
The questions your team needs answered
Every campus food service intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of institution needs this food service? | Institution type determines which nutrition standards, contract structure, and decision-making chain apply, so it routes the rest of the intake differently. |
| Approximately how many people need to be served daily? | Daily headcount is the single biggest driver of contract value and staffing needs, and it's weighted accordingly in the score. |
| Does the campus have an existing kitchen or dining facility to use? | Whether a working kitchen already exists changes whether the lead needs a facility build-out conversation before any menu or pricing discussion. |
| Which meal periods need to be covered? | The meal periods requested directly shape staffing hours and menu complexity needed to scope the bid accurately. |
| Are there known dietary restrictions or allergy accommodations required? | Known dietary restrictions or allergy needs flag that specialized menu planning has to be built into the quote before a tasting is offered. |
| When does the food service need to begin? | The start timeline tells your team whether this is a same-week priority or a next-semester pipeline lead. |
| Are you authorized to approve a food service contract for this institution? | Contract authorization separates a planner gathering pricing from a decision-maker who can actually move to a tasting and sign. |

Built for campus food service workflows
| Cliont capability | Campus Food Service application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | The institution type answer (K-12, university, residential campus, or other) routes the rest of the intake, so a university bid and a K-12 contract don't get treated as identical leads. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Headcount tiers from under 100 up to over 2,000 carry increasing weight, so a 3,000-student university bid surfaces above a 60-person program without anyone manually sorting the queue. |
| Authorization gate | The contract-authority question separates a planner still gathering pricing from a decision-maker who can sign, so tasting invitations go to the leads actually ready to commit. |
| Required uploads | Kitchen photos and current meal count figures come in with the enquiry, so your team can assess facility readiness before the first call instead of during it. |
Example campus food service lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Large university dining bid
Over 2,000 students, an existing kitchen, and an immediate start date signal a high-value contract worth a same-week tasting.
New K-12 building, no kitchen yet
A school with no existing dining facility and no set start date needs a different conversation than a ready-to-go contract, so the intake flags the facility gap early.
Dormitory with allergy accommodations
A residential campus reporting dietary restrictions and multiple meal periods (breakfast through dinner) needs menu-planning detail captured before a tasting is scheduled.
Mid-size college, next semester start
500 to 2,000 residents with a working kitchen but a next-term timeline is a real deal worth pursuing, just not one that needs an immediate site visit.
Planner without signing authority
Someone gathering pricing information who isn't authorized to approve the contract still gets routed, but flagged differently than a decision-maker ready to move.

Campus Food Service lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a small K-12 contract apart from a large university bid?
The institution type question and the daily headcount question run together, so a K-12 school serving 300 students and a university serving 3,000 land in very different score bands even though both come through the same form.
What happens if the person filling out the form can't approve a contract?
The authorization question is weighted, so a planner without signing authority still gets captured and routed, but scores lower than a facilities director or procurement lead who can move straight to a tasting.
Does the intake ask about dietary restrictions before we quote?
Yes, the form asks directly whether dietary restrictions or allergy accommodations are required, so your team knows to plan menu complexity into the quote instead of finding out after a tasting.
What if the campus doesn't have a kitchen yet?
The existing kitchen question is answered yes or no on every submission, so leads without a working facility are still captured but flagged for a different conversation than a turnkey kitchen handoff.
How is this different from your School Meal Program intake?
Campus Food Service covers the broader daily dining operation across K-12, university, and residential settings, including multiple meal periods and facility status, rather than a single school lunch program scope.
Can the intake handle a request that spans breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks?
The meal periods question is multi-select, so a residential campus needing all four periods covered comes through with that full scope visible instead of you having to call and ask.
