Food catering service- A growing business in food industry

People of the working class in today’s world have become so competitive in nature that they hardly get time for their own self. People are so busy with their work, studies and businesses that they hardly spare time for even eating food. They prefer a quick meal simultaneously with work, or something on the go. They do not even carry lunch from home, especially the bachelors who do not really know how to cook. This problem has been persistent and has developed into food catering service across the world. By this serving system, companies set aside a certain amount of funds to provide food services for its employees.

Even in schools and colleges, canteen system has been prevalent since ages, which helps children eat food in their breaks. These canteens are contracted by food catering agencies such as R.K.H.S or Sodexo or Aditi. These agencies provide students studying in schools and colleges good food at subsidies rates. In schools usually coupon system is seen, where students can purchase coupons to have snacks and lunch and they subsequently use it when they want to eat, whereas in colleges the same system exists on cash basis. The advantage of such a system is that parents are not burdened to make food early morning for their children and students also get variety of food every day.

Another alternative for students instead of eating at their schools and college canteens can be to carry lunch boxes from home to their respective institutions. The advantages of this could be that the quality of food will be good since it is home-made and proper nutrition can be attained. The drawback would be that parents would be burdened with making food for their children, especially working parents who cannot spare much time for cooking at home.
