Food Services

UH Mānoa Food Services is a self-funded program responsible for the daily operations of food service vendors on campus including food trucks, campus-wide vending, and Paradise Palms Cafe eateries.

In an effort to continue to provide services and options that suit our University of Hawai'i at Mānoa community needs, we would appreciate your time to give us your input via a survey.  The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your email is required to begin the survey but will not be included in the data collected. Feedback gathered from this survey will guide us in making future decisions and help us to better serve the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa community. 

Please access the survey here:  http://www.surveyshare.com/s/AYASWTB by Friday, April 14.

After you've completed the survey, you may enter to win one of five cases of Monster Energy or a Coke product.

Note: Dining services at the Campus Center, Hemenway Hall and Residence Halls are managed separately by Student Affairs.

*E-mail is required for contest entry. Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents of Hawaii who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Payments of all federal, state and local taxes are solely the responsibility of the winner.

Food Services is pleased to announce that Coca-Cola products are now available throughout the UH Mānoa campus at retail outlets, cafeterias including Paradise Palms, the bookstore and at sporting event venues. Coca-Cola products are also available anytime via vending machines located throughout the UH Mānoa campus.

Coca-Cola was recently awarded the beverage rights and beverage vending concessions contract for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus. The contract is a multi-year contract that supplies the University with new equipment, financial support, and a supply of product that will be used for campus events.

We want to thank our partners at Pepsi for their support of the University and Food Services during the past 24 years. We would also like to thank the many individuals that were involved in the contracting and transition process.

Finally, we appreciate the patience of the University community during this transition.

Please take 10-15 minutes to complete our annual customer survey. You may take the survey here: http://www.surveyshare.com/s/AYAMVID.

The survey will be available through May 31, 2016.
