STAVI's standard-compliant industrial catering process and management give partners peace of mind

With unsafe food and food of unknown origin becoming ever more widespread on the market, industrial catering management has become more important than ever; it helps ensure food safety and hygiene and keeps customers trusting and staying with the company. For management to be professional, the industrial catering management process must be closed-loop and tightly controlled from input to output.

1. What is industrial catering management?

In Vietnam, industrial parks keep springing up and growing in number, causing the workforce to surge. As a result, demand for industrial catering is rising accordingly. But not every provider is able to serve it effectively, which is why professional, high-quality and reasonably priced industrial catering services are in great demand today. This service eases the burden of employee management, gives workers delicious meals, keeps them healthy and boosts labor productivity. At the same time, it avoids the problem of unsafe food of unknown origin.

To understand what industrial catering management is, we first need to understand that industrial catering meals are meals with a pre-planned menu, produced in large quantities to serve hundreds or thousands of people within a short time. Preparing these meals requires a team of cooks and preparation staff, and specialized kitchens for high-volume, high-output cooking.

Managing industrial catering through a closed-loop process ensures that meals for employees in industrial parks are clean and nutritionally adequate, and free from unsafe, unhygienic food. Management covers important steps such as:

• Selecting input ingredients and food that are fresh, of clear origin and free of harmful chemicals is the most important step.

• Next comes processing: cleaning, cooking and portioning must all be carried out in a dedicated kitchen area to maximize food safety and hygiene.

• Then the industrial catering meals are packed to food safety and hygiene standards and transported to the company to serve its employees.

• Finally, clean-up and washing must also meet the criteria of fast - neat - clean.

In short, industrial catering management gives businesses greater peace of mind when choosing a daily catering service for their employees.

2. What steps does the industrial catering management process include?

Having an industrial catering management process helps the industrial catering service provider optimize every task, from the smallest to the largest, in order to optimize profit and working time while still meeting safety and quality standards in its industrial catering meals.

The industrial catering management process includes:

Step 1: Managing food purchasing and the quality and origin of goods on receipt: checking whether the food is fresh and that its origin is clear and supplied by a reputable food production company. Companies can partner with farms or producers of fresh, clean food.

Step 2: Managing preliminary food preparation: After receiving the goods, the food must be cleaned thoroughly. Vegetables, tubers and fruit must be washed and soaked in salt water to remove bacteria; fresh food must be washed thoroughly and refrigerated at a suitable temperature so it does not spoil. Meat requires a clean, quick preparation method before moving on to the cooking stage.

Step 3: Food processing: check once more before cooking; the cooking process must maintain food safety and hygiene, with a professional kitchen team and a clean, airy cooking area free of insects, flies, mosquitoes, etc. All seasonings must be within their expiry date and contain no banned substances.

Step 4: Portioning meals for the full headcount: before delivery to the companies, the staff must portion the meals in a balanced way, with each portion matching the menu and portion size of each company, accompanied by the company's menu. A customer list is needed, together with the menu and unit prices.

Step 5: Retaining food samples: this is a mandatory step so that samples can be tested if a food safety and hygiene incident occurs.

Step 6: Checking the service quality of staff: the company checks the conduct and working methods of each department, from the food preparation area to the kitchen, to minimize avoidable mistakes. In addition, the entire facility must be kept clean throughout storage and processing. Staff wear uniforms and gloves during preparation.
