Abstract

The growth of mobile apps and campus restrictions have transformed student meal habits. At Tan Kah Kee College, we talked to 60 students about their food delivery choices, measuring responses with Likert scales. From our campus survey data, around 92% order takeout several times each week. Students mostly buy main dishes and rice-based meals, making up nearly 87% of orders. Long cafeteria lines push many to choose delivery apps instead. Looking at spending patterns, about half the students stick to a 15–20-yuan budget per meal. Food safety worries came up often in student responses—9 in 10 mentioned concerns about food handling practices. Delivery issues frustrate many: late arrivals affect 73% of users, and roughly half mentioned lost orders. Students suggested several improvements: better restaurant packaging, faster campus delivery routes, and stricter safety checks. Their feedback highlights both current problems and practical ways to improve campus food delivery.
