What is the catering system?

Dining system refers to the principle that chefs, waiters or family members distribute staple food and dishes into tableware in equal amounts for each diner to enjoy alone, which is relative to the "joint meal" in which many people share one or several dishes.

It can reduce cross infection, reduce the occurrence of food-borne diseases and infectious diseases, and cultivate good and healthy life behaviors. The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16) clearly put forward the suggestion of separate meals, and the Healthy China Action of 20 19 once again emphasized the use of separate meals in group meals, which has the advantages of reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, control of food intake, and prevention of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. At the same time, the separate meal system is helpful to reasonable diet, curb eating and drinking, and reduce extravagance and waste. It is also an excellent inheritance of China's traditional food culture, and puts forward new requirements for cooking methods, quantification, utensils, salt and sugar.
