DFAC
Q. Why is the surcharge so high?
A. Surcharge rates are established by Congress and are currently 33% for cash customers at all
AF dining facilities. Your surcharge cost is directly proportionate to your meal cost. The more
your meal cost, the more surcharge is added. So if the cost of your meal was $1.00, you will pay
$.35 surcharge, which brings your total cost to $1.35 if the cost of your meal is $4.00, you will
pay $1.30 surcharge, bringing your total cost to $5.30.
Q. Who do prices vary from base to base?
A. The price of a particular item depends on the item price at which the Dining Facility
purchased the item from its Prime Vendor. This “Cost of Goods” varies from region to region
and Prime Vendor to Prime Vendor. Therefore, an identical item at Scott AFB (different Prime
Vendor and region) may cost less or more than an item Holloman AFB. Holloman’s current
Prime Vendor is Labatt Food Service.
Q. Why isn’t my $10-$11/day Per Diem enough to cover my 3 meals per day at the dining
facility?
A. Per Diem subsidizes your BAS. BAS is currently approximately $8.20 per day. BAS is designed
to feed the member, not his/her family. So while TDY to Holloman and staying in Lodging, you
have approximately $19-$20 per day for subsistence.
Q. Can the dining facility pre-make certain items, i.e. hamburgers ahead of time to help move
the lines along, I waited 15-20 minutes for a hamburger?
A. The Air Force Services Agency Golden Eagle Standards prohibit pre-cooking items that are
designated cook-to-order. This policy is in place to ensure product quality and freshness.
Q. Why did I pay for a bun, when all I requested was the hot dog?
A. The Air Force recipe for “Hot Dog” includes the meat and bread. You, the customer, will pay
for all items in a recipe. If you choose not to eat or accept the bread, it does not change the
price of the “Hot Dog.”
