The definition of a canteen is a self-service restaurant where you select and pay for food yourself, or a dining area where meals can be purchased. The big room with a lunch line and tables where kids eat their lunches while at school is an example of a canteen.
The ideal canteen is one that caters to the broadest possible clientele – taking into account if their patrons identify as vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, coeliac, lactose intolerant, have a nut allergy, or have no such dietary requirements.
Our aim is to be able to feed the students and help them concentrate over their studies and extra-curricular activities and take our institution’s name forward.
Effective canteen management requires that: everyone involved knows its goals and objectives and is familiar with its policies canteen staff and committee develop an implementation plan to achieve policy goals day-to-day operational procedures are structured and enforced staff are adequately trained and supervised staff carry out efficient stock management, accounting and financial procedures staff are familiar with and comply with relevant legal requirements regarding food safety and occupational health and safety standards.
