Industrial Catering Menus That Meet Nutritional Standards

What goes into a standard-compliant industrial catering menu?

One of the most important things to do before ordering an industrial catering service is to look into the menu of the meals: what the dishes are like and how the cooking process works. Below, Stavi will help you gain a deeper understanding of industrial catering menus.

1. What are industrial catering meals?

Industrial catering refers to mid-shift meals, lunches, dinners or night-shift meals prepared in large quantities for hundreds or thousands of people within a short time. The dishes on an industrial catering menu must be listed and planned in advance so they can be applied for a whole week or a whole month for ordering clients such as factories, plants and schools.

• Each meal includes 3 to 5 industrial catering dishes cooked in advance according to a pre-designed menu. Diners eat according to the menu and are free to take extra rice as they wish.

• The price of each meal is decided by the business or employer.

• Industrial catering dishes must be produced in batches according to a process calculated in advance.

• The balance of dishes across meals and days is planned and built by chefs and nutrition professionals.

2. A standard-compliant industrial catering menu - what does a one-week STAVI industrial catering menu look like?

An industrial catering menu is a type of menu pre-designed by chefs and nutrition experts for each day and each week. When building the menu, two main factors are ensured: quality and quantity:

• Quality: The menu must be fully nutritious, covering all food groups: starch and sugar found in rice, corn, potatoes and cereals; protein found in meat, fish, eggs, shrimp and crab; fat found in vegetable oil, animal fat, peanuts, sesame, etc.; and fiber, minerals and vitamins from vegetables, tubers and fruit.

• Quantity: This is the amount of food calculated per meal, which must be nutritionally adequate and filling enough for the diner. The dishes must be varied and changed continuously every day of the week. The food must meet food safety and hygiene requirements, taste delicious and suit the diners' palate.

The amount of food on an industrial catering menu depends on the price per meal that the business chooses: 20k, 25k, 30k, 35k, 40k... You can refer to the menu of a 25k meal below:

3. Essential food groups in every STAVI industrial catering meal

To provide a balanced meal full of nutrients, every meal at STAVI covers all 4 food groups, as follows:

The first group is starch:

Starch-rich foods are an essential source of energy for the body, giving everyone the stamina to work. The starch group supplies vitamins and minerals the body needs such as vitamin B, calcium, iron and sugar... In addition, they provide the fiber needed to maintain a healthy digestive system. Therefore, every industrial catering meal always contains enough starch from rice, corn, potatoes and so on.

The second group is protein:

The protein group helps the body grow, maintains vital functions and strengthens resistance against disease. Everyone should combine foods rich in animal protein (meat, fish, milk, eggs, etc.) with plant protein (beans, legumes, etc.).

The third group is fat:

The fat group, which includes vegetable oil and animal fat, provides plenty of energy for all the body's activities and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K. Diners should limit their consumption of animal fat because it contains a lot of saturated fat that is hard to absorb. Instead, you should eat fish fat and poultry fat, as they contain many unsaturated fats such as Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9, which are very good for health.

The fourth group is vitamins and minerals:

Vitamins and minerals are found in starch, meat and vegetables alike. However, supplementing vitamins and minerals from vegetables, tubers and fruit, which are very rich in them, is very good for the body: they provide micronutrients that protect the body, strengthen resistance and fight disease. Dark green leafy vegetables and yellow or red tubers and fruit are an abundant source of vitamin A, which helps keep eyes bright, boosts resistance, supplements iron and prevents the risk of iron-deficiency anemia. In addition, vegetables and fruit contain plenty of fiber and antioxidants, which help improve health and prevent the risk of non-communicable chronic diseases.
