STAVI, a reputable and high-quality school catering provider

What is a school catering service?

A school catering service is an arrangement in which a professional provider takes responsibility for supplying daily meals (breakfast, lunch and snacks) to students at educational institutions such as kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools. The professional provider handles every stage, from purchasing and preparation to cooking and serving students, while teachers only need to supervise alongside in the kitchen, resulting in quality-assured meals and a lighter management burden for the school.

Unlike ordinary meals, school meals have far stricter requirements. Meals must ensure the highest level of food safety and hygiene, and each meal must be carefully calculated in terms of nutritional content to suit each age group and the physical condition of the students. In addition, the cooking, storage and serving procedures must strictly comply with standards to ensure consistent quality every day.

Using a professional service helps the school maintain stable meal quality, save time, manage students better and give parents peace of mind about the quality of their children's meals. At the same time, it minimizes the risks involved in operating a kitchen.

Forms of school catering at STAVI

To flexibly meet the needs of each school with its own scale, facilities and operating model, STAVI currently offers 2 main forms of school catering: meals delivered from the central kitchen and cooking directly in the school kitchen. Each form has its own dedicated procedures, ensuring the safety and quality standards we have committed to.

Meals delivered from the STAVI central kitchen

Under this option, all dishes are prepared at STAVI's central kitchen through a closed process that strictly ensures food safety and hygiene. Once cooking is complete, the meals are packaged or placed in heated holding containers and transported to the school in dedicated vehicles, ensuring the temperature and quality of the food are maintained when it reaches the students.

At the school, STAVI staff directly portion the meals and serve the students on site at the scheduled time. The serving process is organized professionally and quickly, ensuring students eat on time and the quality of the meals is preserved.

After the meal, STAVI collects the trays and utensils and transports them back to the central kitchen for cleaning and disinfection according to procedure. This means the school does not need to set up a washing area, while ensuring that hygiene is always strictly controlled. This delivered-meal option is particularly suitable for schools that do not have a kitchen or want to optimize investment and operating costs.

Cooking directly in the school kitchen

For schools that have space available to set up a kitchen or wish to directly control the entire cooking process, STAVI implements an on-site cooking model right on the school premises.

Under this model, STAVI purchases food ingredients from reputable suppliers and delivers them to the school every day. The receiving of food involves STAVI's nutritionists together with representatives of the school and the parents' board. All ingredients are carefully checked for origin, quality and freshness before cooking, ensuring transparency and absolute safety.

The entire cooking process takes place in the kitchen under the supervision of the school, so meals are always served hot, retaining their full flavor and nutritional value. This gives parents and the school's management board complete peace of mind. This option is suitable for schools that want a high degree of control and have the conditions to build a kitchen.

Outstanding advantages of STAVI school catering

As a pioneer in industrial catering and a leader in school catering, Sao Viet Nam company (STAVI) has always been trusted by its partners, many of whom have stayed with us for years. Below are the outstanding advantages of STAVI's service:

Fresh, clean ingredients of clear origin

Since its founding, STAVI has always upheld the motto "keeping our word and being transparent in our service", so our kitchens are very strict in selecting input ingredients, especially for school kitchens, because ingredients directly affect the quality of the food and the health of the students.

STAVI only selects reputable suppliers with full certification and clear origin. Every month, the purchasing department conducts a survey of new clean sourcing areas to evaluate and compare quality. Suppliers with weak capability or inconsistent quality are removed from STAVI's supplier list.

All ingredients are freshly purchased every day; we "say no" to old goods or goods stored for long periods, and before entering the school kitchen they must undergo strict inspection before being used for cooking. In addition, food storage procedures are also tightly controlled to ensure that food always stays fresh, delicious and safe for students.

Scientific menus for each age group

Each student age group has different nutritional needs and tastes. That is why STAVI focuses on building separate menus tailored closely to each age group, so that they suit the target group and avoid monotony.

For kindergarten children, dishes are cooked soft, easy to digest and suitable for their still-developing digestive systems. For primary school students, menus are nutritionally balanced with a variety of dishes to spark interest. Meanwhile, secondary school students need higher-energy portions to meet the demands of studying and physical activity. All of this is carefully researched by STAVI's nutritionists and chefs before the menu is finalized.

School catering menus at STAVI are always rich and varied

Cooking procedures that meet food safety standards

STAVI applies the Ministry of Health's one-way cooking process across its entire kitchen system, ensuring that no cross-contamination occurs during food handling. Every stage, from preparation and cooking to portioning, complies with hygiene standards. In every STAVI kitchen, staff must wear the prescribed uniform for each stage and use full protective gear. All trays, spoons, bowls and plates used by students are washed in a dedicated dishwasher and then placed in a drying cabinet.

Before serving, all meals are carefully checked for quality to ensure they meet the highest standards of safety and nutrition. Students are the "seedlings of the future", so no stage can be neglected; STAVI takes everything seriously.

A professional team of staff

To keep its kitchens running smoothly and earn the absolute trust of its partners, STAVI invests heavily in selecting and regularly training its staff, helping employees always master and stay up to date on food safety and hygiene knowledge. STAVI's chefs and staff all have many years of experience in industrial catering and always work according to standard procedures.

This professionalism is reflected in punctual service, quick operations and consistent quality in every meal. This is especially important in a school environment, where every activity requires a high degree of precision and stability.

Transparency and quality control

STAVI always maintains integrity and puts transparency first in delivering its services. Menus are clearly published, and food samples are retained in accordance with regulations for inspection when needed. We absolutely never 'compromise' on unsafe food at any price and remain consistent throughout our business operations.

Schools and parents are fully able to supervise and check quality at any time. This is what creates lasting trust in STAVI's service.

Whether operating a kitchen directly at the school or supplying ready-cooked meals, STAVI can design the optimal option, ensuring operational efficiency and meal quality.

STAVI's school catering process

To ensure stable, professional service quality, STAVI follows a clear working process from the initial survey to actual operation.

First, STAVI surveys the school's needs, including the number of students, their ages and specific requirements. Based on this, our team of specialists builds a menu that suits the nutritional needs and budget.

Once the option, whether on-site cooking or delivered meals, has been agreed, STAVI sets up the kitchen with full staffing, equipment and operating procedures. Throughout operation, quality is continuously monitored and controlled jointly by both parties to ensure that every meal meets the agreed standards.
