Managing the canteen

TakingOrders

Running a canteen can be complicated – there are so many stakeholders, usually with varied ideas about how things should be done and what should be sold.

Sometimes the positions are held by volunteers (as in the case of a P&C run canteen), and receiving the guidance you need (as the manager) can be difficult to pin down.

Below is a pdf that breaks down the structure of a canteen governing body. It explains who reports to whom and where the guidance and policy should come from.

Canteen Committee – staff roles and responsibilities

Canteen Survey – how your canteen is used

Staffing – recruiting volunteers, advertising, employing and appraising staff

Award Rates of Pay

Food Safety Training – FREE for Members
