What does a 25K factory meal include?

Many businesses believe that VND 25,000 per meal is rather low in the current climate and that such a meal cannot provide enough energy. However, with a scientifically built menu, a stable supply of ingredients and an optimised canteen operating process, a 25k meal can still fully meet nutritional requirements.

A quality VND 25,000 industrial meal usually includes:

•        01 main savoury dish

•        01 seasonal green vegetable dish

•        01 side dish or stir-fried dish

•        Hot soup

•        Steamed rice

•        Dessert

Most important of all is the balance between nutritional value, workers' tastes and the quality of the incoming ingredients.

Suggested quality 25k factory menus

To help businesses picture the quality of a meal at VND 25,000 per portion, below are sample menus for 5 weeks built by STAVI on the principles of balanced nutrition, varied dishes and suitability for the tastes of most workers at factories and plants.

Week 1 menu

This menu is chosen by many factories because the ingredients are easy to store and the cost is reasonable, yet it still provides enough energy for workers during their shift.

Week 2 menu

The combination of meat, eggs and green vegetables makes the portion better balanced and suitable for workers doing high-intensity jobs.

Week 3 menu

Fish is a good source of protein that helps vary the taste and prevents a repetitive menu from becoming monotonous for workers.

Week 4 menu

This is the menu chosen by many electronics and garment manufacturers thanks to its easy-to-eat flavours, which suit most workers.

Week 5 menu

The dishes are varied in colour, which whets the appetite and helps workers enjoy a better-quality meal.

Key criteria for building a 25K factory menu

At a cost of VND 25,000 per portion, the menu must be carefully balanced: nutritionally sound, suited to the tastes of the majority and optimised for the budget. Below are the key criteria for creating a 25K menu that is both good quality and able to meet workers' needs.

The criteria for building 25k meals at factories are always a priority

Providing enough energy for work

Workers at factories often work continuously for 8 to 12 hours a day, so their meal has to be filling and supply the nutrients they need. The menu therefore has to provide enough carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins to maintain health and work performance. A 25k meal still includes every course; only the portion of each dish is balanced to suit the budget.

Changing the dishes regularly from day to day

One of the reasons workers skip a meal or leave food uneaten is a menu that repeats too often. Professional catering contractors usually build a rotating menu of 20 to 30 days to create variety. Even at 25k per meal, the dishes are still varied and richly planned, changing from day to day and from week to week.

Safe sources of ingredients

All ingredients are delivered fresh from reputable suppliers with clearly identified origins and are strictly controlled from goods receipt through to preparation. With large volumes of goods entering the kitchen, rigorous checking is vital in order to avoid incidents affecting large numbers of people.

Suited to the specific nature of each factory

Each factory operates differently and performs different tasks, so the need to take in and expend energy also differs. Mechanical engineering, electronics, garment and food manufacturing plants have high nutritional requirements. Garment and component factories involve less physical movement, so their meals are accordingly simpler. The menu therefore needs to be adjusted flexibly to match the reality of the work.
