Food Service & Training

Canteen Correctional Services is a leader in essential support services for secure facilities. We understand that our success depends on the success of the people we serve.

Food Service

We understand that mealtime plays a critical role in the overall stability of a secure facility – and we take that responsibility very seriously. To help reinforce a sense of order and control within your facility, we make sure that all food is properly prepared and presented. Canteen is committed to providing food service programs that achieve these objectives three times a day, seven days a week.

Purchasing Power

Canteen’s clients benefit from our vast national procurement programs, which enables us to secure quality products at competitive prices. Our team constantly tests and evaluates new products and sources.

Nutritional Requirements

Canteen’s on-staff registered dieticians meet with clients and medical staff to develop nutritious menus. We exceed federal, state and local guidelines, and respect individuals’ dietary and religious requirements.

Training

Quality and Security Training

Food safety and security are two of our top priorities. We strictly observe FDA HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) safety standards at every level. All of our Associates receive security training and certification in correctional security procedures, and take part in ongoing educational programs to ensure our staff is always familiar with the latest security, safety and food service information.

ServSafe classes

Canteen’s managers are certified in ServSafe by our trainers and provide their capabilities to your staff and the inmates at your facility. You gain ServSafe certified foodservice workers and inmates are provided with valuable, marketable skills within the service sector. Upon returning to the general work force, Canteen assists participants in gaining employment, ultimately reducing recidivism.

Efficient Delivery

Our associates work closely with your staff to keep mealtimes running smoothly. Our food service delivery systems are designed to match your facility’s unique layout, security requirements and kitchen specifications. Canteen Correctional Services’ associates participate in background checks, ACA certification, and in-depth food safety and preparation training. These standards are in place to ensure compliance with security and safety policies before any associate is allowed to serve your facility. Daily briefings update personnel about new security developments within your facility, and every associate spends 40 hours per year in mandatory security training programs. We do this to increase our knowledge and maintain your trust.
