A canteen project is a complex task that requires integrating kitchen technology, a space plan that meets HACCP standards, serving line ergonomics and customer flow optimisation — the BHS team with experience in the HoReCa market helps combine all these requirements into a unified, functional and compliant canteen solution. BHS carries out canteen projects.
Canteen project stages
A BHS canteen project involves several interrelated stages. Needs analysis — analysis of canteen flow, number of meals, menu concept and space size; alignment of customer requirements and budget. Serving line design — self-service counter or service line according to the canteen concept; ergonomics and customer flow speed. Equipment selection — selection and delivery of professional kitchen and serving equipment according to the project. Installation and handover — equipment installation, adjustment and initial staff training. BHS helps implement the canteen project from concept to launch.
Types of canteens and their specifics
The canteen projects implemented by BHS cover various canteen formats with different requirements. Company canteen — a large-scale self-service canteen with a serving line equipped according to the number of employees and working hours. School or university canteen — a high-capacity canteen with simple, fast self-service and price optimisation. Hospital canteen — strict HACCP requirements, separate zones for different diets and a patient transport system. Self-service cafeteria with a wide range — extensive serving lines with various menu elements. Cost-effective canteen for a small business — a compact kitchen and serving solution for a small canteen with optimised staff use. BHS ensures the implementation of canteen projects for HoReCa businesses.
HACCP and regulatory compliance
A canteen project must be developed in accordance with regulatory requirements and HACCP standards. Kitchen flow principle — HACCP provides for a one-way product flow from delivery, through storage, preparation, cooking, serving to waste disposal without cross-contamination. Separation of clean and dirty zones — the washing and cleaning area must be designed separately from the food preparation area. Ventilation — the kitchen project requires appropriate ventilation and air purification systems. Flooring and wall coverings — HACCP compliant flooring and wall materials that allow water washing and disinfection. Water supply — sufficient hot and cold water supply in all kitchen work areas. BHS ensures the development of a HACCP compliant canteen project.
