INSTITUTIONAL CATERING
1. Industrial Catering- Industrial catering refers more to shops and factories where food is
made to primarily serve the needs of the employees. This is one of the most sensitive
catering, as it is believed that the biggest of the union quarrels arise due to poor catering
facilities provided by a company.
2. Hospital and Nursing Homes – Hospital catering developed when it was realized that
hospitalized patients need food with specific dietary requirements in order to get well
soon. Nutrition in hospital food translates down to minute details of amount of
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and other necessary vitamins and minerals required by
patients.

3. Schools (Colleges and Universities) - The main consumers here are students. The food
is made and supplied by cafeterias at very nominal rates. The cafeteria could have its own
fully equipped kitchen, and thus prepare food or it may even outsource food. The size of
kitchen and the kinds of equipment would depend on the number of meals the institution
serves on a daily basis.
Example: Canteen, School meal

earned from working in the prison or sent by family and friends.
