Background: Patient satisfaction with food is influenced by many factors. In addition to the quality and presentation of the food, psychological factors such as patient perception and expectations and social factors such as culture and the dining environment also play a significant role. An effective food delivery system, encompassing menu planning and distribution, is crucial for meeting patient expectations.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction with nutritional services at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital Yogyakarta.
