Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Worked with the culinary purchasing and inventory supervisor to get information from 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. Used data from 2019-2020 because it is closer to our 'normal' year.
Contractor numbers for dining services are not available and not included. I was only able to select no on both to submit.
