Serving School Lunch Family Style

A lot of schools, mine included, have cost-reduced away the kitchen staff and facilities. Food is brought in from a central kitchen and kept in warming bins until lunch time.

Silverware sounds nice, but our school has no dishwashing facility. Utensils and dishes would need to be reclaimed and brought back for cleaning.

School cafeterias are often designed around throughput.

That sounds great. Where are you from John?
