Questions to understand the actual experience.
Understand practical issues with event meal arrangements. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which meal information was missing? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What made collecting food difficult? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Avoid collecting medical dietary explanations. |
| What arrangement would help? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Improve food labeling and collection routes. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
