Qantas considering pre-ordering of Business Class meals - International flights

[Dmac59]

Today I received (and completed) a survey from QF Research Panel today regarding options for the pre-ordering of Business Class meals on International flights.
I captured 6 screen pics from the survey to give fellow AFF members an insight into what QF may be considering.

I wonder if they'll extend it to salads so you can have something other than Neil's leaves?

I got the same survey.

It’s not actually new to QF, I used it with mixed success around 10 years ago.

Was just about to say this.

Weird that they need to do a survey on it.
Even with 8 choices I think SQ offers more J options out of SYD, let alone SIN.

Yes - Select on Q-Eat, which was later renamed Menu Select. It was even available to Economy passengers - with pre-order only exclusive options. Killed off during the pandemic.

Qantas future strategy meeting minutes:
1. Meeting opened
2. Attendees commence scouring AFF threads for possible innovations tried in the past then forgotten due cost.
3. Discussion on how to get these innovations past the finance team.

QF intl meal service is routinely the slowest of any airline - if the crew have to start sorting out who’s pre ordered what I worry will only make it worse

The NP offering is a palate cleanser rather than a full salad. Perhaps they could offer a sorbet instead

If a sorbet was served as solid as they serve ice-cream, you'd not notice the enormous wait between courses that we have to endure with the sooo slooow meal service.

I wonder why they got rid of it before. I imagine it would save a load on food wastage

lol… but it would only be a teaspoon’s worth. So shouldn’t be too long to wait

That's why I don't fly Qantas Internationally because I needed more time to rest than to wait to dine.

The speed of service has vastly improved from days of old. I managed to get a decent sleep on SYD-MNL a few months ago

We never fly QF back from Asia because of the time taken to serve supper and the time they wake the cabin for breakfast.

Asian and ME airlines understand how to maximise sleep time for pax.

Actually reasonably quick now. The downside is breakfast is just a juice, tea/coffee and a muffin from a trolley service and Supper, they’ve dropped a starter.

Just completed their survey as per OP and
added my 2 cents worth in the comments
