What We Do

Every dimension of campus dining, under one roof.

◆

Strategic Master Planning

Comprehensive roadmaps for dining and auxiliary services. Research-driven plans that yield measurable benefits for enrollment, retention, and campus life.

◇

RFP & Contract Negotiation

North America's leading firm for competitive RFP development. We've negotiated 50+ contracts with Sodexo, Aramark, Chartwells, and every major operator.

◊

Meal Plan Development

Flexible, modern meal plans that increase participation, add value for students, and generate sustainable revenue for institutions.

◉

Facility Design

Contemporary residential and retail dining spaces designed in REVIT. Spaces that invite students to gather, connect, and stay on campus.

We work for you.
Not the contractors.
PKC receives no payments from foodservice contractors, equipment manufacturers, or purveyors. Zero. Our only revenue comes from client fees.

This voluntary independence ensures every recommendation serves one interest: yours. No hidden incentives. No steered outcomes. In an industry where most consultants have contractor relationships, we chose a different path.
The Framework

SOCIAL ARCHITECTURE™

01

Cure Loneliness

Design dining environments that naturally spark conversation and build the friendship networks students need to thrive.

02

Strengthen Retention

Eliminate the Inferior Program Penalty. When dining programs fall short, students leave. When they excel, students stay.

03

Drive Financial Results

Better contracts, smarter meal plans, and higher participation rates. Transform dining from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

Every campus has a dining program.
Not every campus has one that changes lives.
