I lead Porter Khouw Consulting, a firm that specializes in creating next generation residential and retail dining programs for colleges and universities across North America. With over 50 years of experience in food service operations and consulting, I have pioneered SOCIAL ARCHITECTURE (TM), a core guiding principle that leverages dining as a strategic asset to foster student engagement, emotional well-being and academic success.My team and I have helped hundreds of campuses transform their dining programs, increasing student participation, retention, and satisfaction, while generating revenue and savings for the institutions. I have shared my vision, insights, and negotiating style in The Porter Principles, a book that guides campus leaders and stakeholders in achieving their dining goals. I am also a frequent speaker, writer, and award-winner in the industry, and an active member of the Foodservice Consultants Society International (FCSI).
