Those responsible for administering meals at K-12 schools understand the unique challenges presented by school foodservice operations and school cafeteria serving lines. Unlike a typical restaurant buffet, cafeteria staff deal with timed lunches, unique payments, and age groups in need of different serving sizes.
Enter Multiteria. Able to conform cafeterias to the unique needs and flow of school cafeterias, Multiteria understands the challenges school food nutrition directors are facing daily. By concentrating on flow control, alternate serving locations, and line barriers, there's a focus on food safety along with encouraging students to eat and getting them served quickly.
The new cafeteria experience is welcoming, comfortable, and engaging for students, also allowing foodservice workers to serve food more efficiently and safely. The modern cafeteria may have a scatter design, providing multiple stations, such as grill stations, to focus on specific types of food, including made-to-order dishes.
To create and diversify these options, the cafeteria breaks up the single-line concept many are accustomed to, doing away with the school cafeteria serving lines in favor of changeable, customized serving stations.
Menu versatility also ensures students continue to enjoy the cafeteria experience, ensuring a separation of contents as dictated by special diets and preferences.
For foodservice administrators and staff ready to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the quality of food, it's time to reconsider the standard school cafeteria serving lines and embrace the concept of having K-12 students to line up at serving stations they prefer before forming multiple channeled lines for point-of-service sales.
With Multiteria's help, the school cafeteria could look different every day while still ensuring that barriers are placed for line efficiency and hygiene. And with mobile serving counters, foodservice administrators can prioritize safety, provide food in an appealing way, and limit the time students have to spend in school cafeteria serving lines.
