How to personalize a template

Strong school cafeteria description lets readers trace the path from entrance through meal or packed-lunch choice to seating and exit/return, understand what can be seen or heard from a table, and feel how queues, table occupancy and meal-period timing change social privacy and movement. The prose does not assume trays, hot meals, free seating, bells, eligibility rules or a universal lunch system.
