Consumer Reaction to the Fort Lewis CAFe System

Abstract

2471 interviews were conducted at Ft. Lewis, Washington, to determine consumer reaction to the model food service system (CAFe). The results indicate that the food prepared within the central kitchens of CAFe, and even the food prepared on-site in CAFe facilities, were judged higher on the standard hedonic scale than the food prepared in the traditional food service system. Furthermore, the non-food or environmental/systems changes initiated within the CAFe system were appreciated by the consumers.
