Related quote from the interviews
(1): “The enthusiasm of the staff is very important.”
(2): “For me it is unclear, which product I can/ cannot place in our canteen. [..] Like a bread with cheese on it, is that ok to offer that in the canteen?”.
(3): “The canteen is clean and tidy, but doesn’t have an attractive presentation to buy food and drinks like a shop. At this moment, I have no idea how to change this.”
(4): “It is difficult [to decide what a healthier/ less healthy product is], you hear conflicting stories.”
(5): “If you want to have behavioural change, you need to have a conversation with parents, students and staff from the school to tune it together.”
(6) “I think I have very good contact with them [school canteen advisors] [...] I found them very pleasant to work with.”
(7) “[..] full fat yogurt is not really what I want to serve because then I do not comply with the requirements. So, they [suppliers] offer us a low-fat yogurt alternative, they did it for us.”
(8): “It is important that the caterer involves the students. If the caterer creates wonderful things but the students do not like it, it won’t not be a success. So, in that respect I think it's good that all three of us [also school] attend.”
(9): “I do not know what students really want. I'm really curious because I think there are opportunities.”
(10): “There is no time, no money and no interest. [..]. We spoke to different facility managers who said they have suggested and proposed ideas but it is simply not on the agenda.”
