Canteen Cutlery CANTEEN

The Canteen Cutlery CANTEEN series is the optimal solution for all types of collective catering establishments where the most important criteria are durability, uniformity and an affordable price for large quantities. The name CANTEEN directly indicates the intended use of these items — the everyday serving of meals in canteens or cafeterias, where the items must withstand intensive use by hundreds or thousands of diners each day.

Canteen Cutlery CANTEEN series range

The CANTEEN series offers a complete set of everyday canteen cutlery. Eating knife and fork — the main meal set; a durable shape with good grip quality. Eating spoon — a versatile spoon for soups and stews. Soup spoon — a large bowl for deep soup. Dessert spoon — for dessert bowls, puddings and sweets. Coffee spoon — for small coffee or tea cups. Buffet serving utensils — large spoons and spatulas for self-service buffets. Also see the BAR series.

Durability requirements for collective catering

Canteen cutlery has different requirements than restaurant cutlery. Intensive washing — the collective catering dishwashing cycle can occur 6–10 times a day; the CANTEEN series is designed for this. Mechanical durability — items are dropped, stacked and sorted in metal trays; a stable metal shape without indentations. Tray system compatibility — CANTEEN cutlery is designed for storage and distribution from cutlery tray systems; standardised size proportions. Uniform appearance — large canteens require visually consistent cutlery; the CANTEEN series ensures a uniform look. Also see the CATERING series.

CANTEEN compared to other canteen cutlery series

Different canteen cutlery series are suitable for different contexts. CANTEEN — the purest classic canteen form; a universal solution for most canteens. BAR — a slightly more stylised design; suitable for workplace cafeterias with higher standard requirements. BISTRO — bistro style; a slightly more rounded shape. CATERING — for event catering; a different profile. 1ECO — the most economical version for a minimal budget. Also see the BISTRO series.

Assembly and cutlery management

Effective management of canteen cutlery involves proper initial assembly and ongoing maintenance. Initial set — 3–4 cutlery sets per simultaneous seat; a reserve to ensure the washing, storage and wear cycle. A 200-seat canteen — approximately 800 eating cutlery sets and 600 dessert items. Cutlery wear — canteen cutlery wears out faster than restaurant cutlery; plan an annual replenishment of 5–10%. Cutlery sorting — a tray system helps control the number of items and reduces losses. BHS advises on the canteen cutlery management process.
