Barrie Schessler '10, Class Representative, felt that the experience was extremely worth while. "We got to experience what potential our school has to revamp in the 2009 renovations. It also showed us the possibilities of the different types of foods we could bring in like sushi, salads and Mexican food."
Sandella's actually has about 210 different menu items available that can easily be rotated in and out. Gerchman says that "we are waiting to see what the numbers tell us about which menu items are the most popular so that we can determine which ones will stay." Sandella's will only offer about a dozen items at a time because the speed of service is such a critical factor. "The reason why GQ has such a problem with lines is because there are so many different options," explains Gerchman. Rebecca Haverson '10 agrees that the speed of Sandella's service is an important part of its appeal. Haverson said,"With my class schedule, I usually don't have that much time to get lunch but at Sandella's, the lines are a lot shorter and a lot of the food is prepackaged so it makes getting food a lot easier for me."
The general feedback on Sandella's seems to be fairly positive. Snyder comments that "it really is great to work with the students because they give me a lot of feedback right away and so far, we have been very happy with the results."
Despite the positive feedback, there are still some students who believe that there is room for improvement. Jonathan Falk '10 says that he "would like the quality of the chicken to improve." Schessler also agrees that there is still much more room for improvement, not just at Sandella's, but in all of the College's dining facilities. "Our food is on par with other schools, if not better. But our equipment is old and the overall look needs to be modernized because if it looks better, it tastes better. We are in the process of trying to expedite renovations," said Schessler.
There will most likely be many improvements to the College's dining situation in the future but for now, Sandella's seems to be an effective answer to short term problems.
