The cafeteria, previously managed by Chartwells Dining Services, is under new management. Compass now manages cafeteria services for all the City Colleges of Chicago for the next five years. The only change for students is the coffee; Starbucks is being served in the cafeteria.
Carmen Soler, manager of the cafeteria working for Compass, says new management will not affect the students in any way because the operating hours, food, and staff remain the same. Students are unaware of Starbucks being introduced in the cafeteria. Wright College student David Anthony said, "I [had] no idea about the new change in the cafeteria but I love Starbucks coffee."
Some students complain about the operating hours of the cafeteria and its expenses. "By the time I'm done with my morning classes, the cafeteria is closed so I have to drive for my lunch and come back for an afternoon class which is really inconvenient," Wright student Laura Bennet said.
Priyanka Philip, who takes classes at Wright and North Park University said, "I feel that the quality of food is better at North Park compared to Wright and also affordable and cheap for the students. I rarely used the cafeteria even though I was here at Wright for three and a half years." However, some students are satisfied with the variety of food offered. Another Wright Student, Claudia Orduno said she didn't mind spending that extra penny to save time because of the variety offered. The cafeteria offers a variety of food from fruits and cereals, to sandwiches and burgers, with health charts included beside the fruits rack.
The cafeteria is open from 7:30 a.m., to 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The menu is now available online at wright.ccc.edu.
