Whether building a new cafeteria or renovating and expanding an existing space, the coordination between the required utilities, kitchen equipment, and existing conditions always poses a challenge. Kitchens and serving areas need to be functional, durable, and maintainable. With the trend to separate the cafeteria services from core business functions at most corporations, cafeterias are providing a larger daily variety and higher quality product. This level of service not only aids in employee retention, but also drives business internally within the cafeteria area.
