Envision Strategies helps colleges, universities, preparatory, and K-12 schools position their dining and hospitality programs to provide excellence in environments that foster engagement and encourage community.  We work in all aspects of education dining, including retail dining, residential dining, catering services, athlete dining, and concessions.

“Our experiences with Envision Strategies have helped us realize the need for an outside perspective on the growth, efficiency and logistics of our food service operations... We have lofty goals but working with the Envision team has allowed us to realize them and set new heights for strategic improvement. They understand the higher education atmosphere and the need for continued improvement to the bottom line.”
— Greg Minner, Director of Dining Services - Purdue University
