Is this a food diary or nutrition assessment?

No. It captures a few self-reported details from one meal service. A clinical, dietary or nutrient study needs an appropriate validated method and specialist oversight.

Can the team compare breakfast and lunch?

Only if the invitation, item categories and meal labels are consistent enough for the decision. Keep meal windows separate when menus and serving patterns differ.

Does a high percentage of unfinished food prove waste?

No. Respondents estimate how much of one item they ate. Directly measuring waste needs a separate method, and a voluntary survey may not represent every diner.

If you left any of the main item, what was the main reason?

Portion was larger than I wanted

Taste or texture was not for me

Serving temperature was not right

Food Consumption Survey Template

This food consumption survey helps dining-service teams hear what adults selected and ate at one named meal. Seven optional questions connect the main item, amount left and portion fit to a practical menu decision.

Food & Beverage Survey Templates

Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey Template Food & beverage This restaurant customer satisfaction survey template helps you find out what diners enjoyed and what needs attention. Its eight questions cover food, service, waiting time, value, and the overall visit. Adapt the questionnaire to your restaurant, then create your survey with SurveyLegend.
Catering Feedback Survey Template Food & beverage Catering feedback is most useful when the respondent can see the whole service agreement. Ask the organizer about planning and delivery, and use a separate guest questionnaire if you need individual meal preferences. Keep each response tied to one event.
Coffee Shop Experience Survey Template Food & beverage A takeaway coffee and a long café visit create different expectations. Start with how the customer used the shop, then ask about the parts of the visit they experienced. Keep comments connected to that visit rather than asking for a general opinion of the brand.
Food Evaluation Form Template Food & beverage A tasting form should tell you which part of a sample people liked, not just whether they liked it overall. Give every taster the same sample identifier and evaluation instructions. Use the findings to guide a recipe trial rather than to certify quality or safety.
Food Preferences Survey Template Food & beverage People can dislike a menu without being dissatisfied with the service. Ask about preferences before planning the meal, with a clear setting and audience. Keep preference research separate from the process used to confirm individual dietary needs.
Alcohol and Social Occasions Survey Template Food & beverage This alcohol and social occasions survey helps organizers understand drink choices, alcohol-free options and whether guests feel comfortable choosing for themselves. It includes adults who do not drink. Build the seven-question version in SurveyLegend and use it to plan practical changes without requesting a personal drinking history.
Beer Tasting Survey Template Food & beverage Use the form during an organized tasting with eligible adults who choose to participate. Identify the sample consistently and give the same serving instructions to each participant. SurveyLegend's example collects stated preferences; it does not determine alcohol content, product safety or technical brewing quality.
Candy Survey Template Food & beverage This candy survey focuses on adult feedback about a labeled gummy candy sample. Its seven optional questions separate overall liking from sweetness, firmness, stickiness, flavor strength, and aftertaste. Use it during an organized tasting with clear sample identification. The results help a confectionery team choose what to investigate next; they do not test food safety or nutritional quality.
Cheesecake Preferences Questionnaire Template Food & beverage Ask for feedback just after participants try one clearly identified sample. A light Japanese-style cheesecake and a dense baked cheesecake invite different expectations, so name the intended style before interpreting answers. Adapt this SurveyLegend questionnaire to a recipe trial rather than treating every taster as a judge of one universal ideal.
Chips Taste Test Survey Template Food & beverage Broad questions about favorite snacks do not tell a product team what to change. This template asks adult tasters to review one coded Sample A immediately after tasting it. The questions separate overall liking from crunch, seasoning, flavor, and aftertaste before asking for one priority and one next experiment. Food safety, allergen screening, participant consent, and sample preparation must be handled outside the survey.
Chocolate Tasting Survey Template Food & beverage Use this template after someone tastes one coded chocolate sample. Keep the brand, price and packaging out of view when the decision concerns the product itself. A short, consistent questionnaire makes it easier to compare reactions without asking tasters to become technical sensory experts.
Coffee Tasting Survey Template Food & beverage A high overall score will not tell a roaster whether a brew felt too bitter or lacked aroma. SurveyLegend helps a tasting host collect specific impressions while the samples can still be compared.
Fast Food Order Feedback Survey Template Food & beverage Ask about one recent order while the details are still easy to recall. Anchoring each response to a specific visit or order helps the team connect an accuracy, wait or food-condition problem to the channel where it occurred. This questionnaire measures reported experience; it does not inspect food safety or prove why a problem happened.
Food Culture Survey Template Food & beverage Use this template when a museum, school, library, or community group wants comparable answers about lived food traditions. Name the program and ask respondents to focus on one practice or dish. For a public activity, explain how written examples may be summarized and let people skip details they prefer not to share.
Food Pantry Access Survey Template Food & beverage A pantry can be available without being easy to use. Some students may not know where it is, while others cannot visit during opening hours. Create this questionnaire in SurveyLegend to hear from both visitors and people the service has not reached.
Institutional Food Service Satisfaction Survey Template Food & beverage Send this seven-question survey after a recent meal or during a short review period. Tying every response to one visit makes results easier to interpret than broad opinions about food service in general.
Grocery Store Survey Template Food & beverage A shopper buying one item may encounter a different problem from someone completing a weekly grocery shop. Begin with the purpose of the visit, then ask whether the store helped the shopper complete it.
Chocolate Market Research Survey Template Food & beverage Chocolate bought as a small treat may serve a different purpose from chocolate chosen as a gift. This SurveyLegend questionnaire starts with purchase context so product ideas are tied to a real occasion.
Menu Price Survey Template Food & beverage A price means little without the dish, portion, setting, and included items. This SurveyLegend questionnaire keeps those details together so the feedback is about a complete offer rather than an isolated number.
Sugary Drink Habits Survey Template Food & beverage This sugary drink habits survey explores choices and access without calculating sugar intake. It asks about drinks with added sugar, such as regular soda, sweetened tea or coffee, energy drinks and fruit drinks. Build the questionnaire in SurveyLegend and use the responses to plan a local improvement, not to label an individual’s diet.
