Extending canteen opening hours on Fridays: would you be up for it?

The Residence Hall and Cafeteria Administration is considering extending the hours of operation of the MUNI PED Cafeteria on Fridays. The cafeteria is currently open until 2:30 p.m. and then the cafeteria is sanitized at the end of the week.

However, we are hearing from some students that they would be interested in extending the hours of operation to 3:00 pm, as is the case on other weekdays. An extension of the opening hours is theoretically possible, but it is not a trivial adjustment and the working hours of the canteen staff would have to be adjusted.

We would therefore like to ask you in a short three-question survey whether you would use the extension of the opening hours to 15:00. The survey is open to students who are in active study.

Link to the questionnaire on the opening hours of the canteen (available until 11 December 2024)
