Comprehensive canteen outsourcing in Victoria schools
Metro Canteens believes in providing schools with comprehensive canteen outsourcing. This means supplying fresh and healthy food for students to support them in their learning journey. We pride ourselves on serving our freshly prepared foods every school day. Each meal is homemade and will be freshly prepared on-site in your school canteen.
To make ordering more efficient, we can utilise the Flexischools ordering app to support students and families to order online at their leisure and with parental supervision. Online ordering means students do not have to wait for service, making the most of their lunch break. They pick up their meal, and their choice is guaranteed. We will work with you to understand the needs of the families and roll out the app accordingly.
We do not believe in a simple ‘heat & serve’ menu, nor in food being prepared off-site, pre-packed and transported frozen. You get to see our Quality Assurance systems at work. All students deserve freshly prepared food on-site daily.
School catering
In addition to our canteen outsourcing in Victoria, Metro Canteens offers catering for any and all events hosted within Victoria schools. We can cater for any event by preparing flavourful, healthy food in line with the style or size of the occasion.
This includes events like:
- Parent/Teacher interviews
- Staff Meetings
- Board Meetings
We can tailor our menu to specific events, offering soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch meetings, homemade pastries and treats for morning tea, and even hot meals for evening functions. We will work with you to design the perfect menu.
Boarding house
Metro Canteens Victoria understands that healthy food is vital to every child’s upbringing and an essential part of their day-to-day routine.
Metro Canteens Victoria caters for boarding houses of all sizes by providing freshly prepared, healthy meals designed by our qualified nutritionist. When designing our menus, we consider all aspects and demographics of students.
This includes:
- Dietary requirements
- Dietary choices
- Input from students and families
- Religious requirements, e.g. Halal
This enables us to deliver a home-away-from-home experience to all boarding students.
Additionally, our boarding house catering staff and services are subjected to the same standards as our canteen staff – all have the proper food preparation and safety training and valid Working with children check (WWCC).
