Canteen Modular Systems are the most flexible way to equip a canteen self-service zone — the modular approach allows the configuration to be precisely adapted to the specific needs of the canteen, combining elements with different functions and enabling future expansion or reconfiguration of the system. This makes modular systems a smart long-term investment for canteens and corporate dining rooms that grow, develop or change their menu over time.
Module system elements and their functions
A full Canteen Modular System consists of several types of elements that are combined according to menu and service needs. Heat modules — hot food holding elements with bain-marie (water bath or air heat) principle for the first and second menu items. Refrigeration modules — cold food, salad and dessert display elements with a cooling system. Neutral modules — bread, tableware, tray and other non-refrigerated product placement elements. Cashier modules — cash and payment processing integration elements at the end of the self-service line. Connecting elements — side panels, fasteners and joints that ensure the visual unity of the modular system. See also Pass Shelf for Food Service and Stainless Steel Furniture Modules.
Stainless steel construction and durability
Canteen Modular Systems are traditionally made from stainless steel, which is the optimal material for intensive use in canteens and environments with high hygiene requirements. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant to high humidity and cleaning chemicals. Surfaces are easily disinfected with standard catering hygiene products. Durable construction ensures long-term use with high visitor traffic. Regular cleaning keeps the steel surface hygienic and aesthetically appealing.

HACCP compliance in canteen modular systems
The heat and refrigeration elements of Canteen Modular Systems are directly linked to compliance with HACCP critical control points, which is a mandatory requirement for catering businesses. Heat modules ensure that prepared food is kept above the minimum temperature limit set by HACCP. Refrigeration modules maintain cold food and salad temperatures within the range required by HACCP. Regular temperature monitoring and documentation are mandatory components of HACCP compliance in all canteens. Stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect, maintaining HACCP hygiene requirements. See also Trolleys, GN pastry pan trolleys, Canteen tray trolleys.
HoReCa usage scenarios
A large corporate canteen with more than 200 diners per day — a full modular system with heat, refrigeration and neutral elements ensures an organised self-service flow for a large number of people. A university or school canteen — a modular system with a flexible configuration for menu changes. A hospital or healthcare facility canteen — a modular system with HACCP compliant heat and refrigeration control.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Canteen Modular System be expanded later? The modular approach is designed specifically for this — new elements can be added to the system or the configuration can be changed. Contact the BHS team for planning. See Stainless Steel Furniture.
What is the standard length of a modular system for a canteen? The length depends on the canteen’s capacity and the scope of the menu — the BHS project team helps calculate the optimal length. See also Easy-Assembly Stainless Steel Furniture.
