Should UL get rid of Sodexo?

[fanof71]

If UL cannot find other options and think Sodexo is the ONLY option, Sodexo really has this University by the balls!

Wait....you mean this University has balls?

Heck, Sodexo just got their tentacles into McNeese. 10 year campus dining contract. Already at NWST and Grambling for starters.

How does LSU or any other college that doesnt use Sodexo use? I am sure there are other options?

UL outsources everything and so go the profits.

ULM and Tech aren’t Sodexo. Willing to bet they will be in the future.

I don't think they can withstand the attendance hit that accompanies a Sodexo takeover.

That’s just basic campus dining contract. Getting a foothold.

She may exaggerated a little, but you get my point.

No exaggeration. I paid $16 last week at basketball. It does come with fries.

The question no one is asking: Is the contract to handle concessions at the sports facilities being used to lower the cost of what Sodexo charges to handle the food services on campus? How much is this saving UL? Is the ROI on these savings negative because it is costing UL ticket revenue from people not going to games?

If Lafayette only had a decent investigation media outlet, this subject would make a great 3 night sweeps news package...or a large article in The Times of Acadiana

Food trucks sound nice, but if Louisiana were to let all comers pull up, I’m sure the insurance requirements the university would impose bring everything back to square one financially.

And dont rule out: "why am i parking farther away because a food truck is now in my spot, i hope they paid as much as i pay for parking"

[Turbine]

The food trucks are an amenity, a draw, an attraction, an enhancment, a week to week curiosity that can get fans coming through the gates of Cajun Basin, they shouldn't have to pay a dime.

They should be givdn a stipend for showing up.
