when food is presented to a person his/her attention is focused on the aesthetics value and

health. One’s drive for food and the way he is satisfied is important, food is needed by man

Local Literature
As we all know, food is a basic necessity for a person. Food is one of the basic needs that
we must obtain in order to fulfill our hunger. Food does not only end the hunger but it also
gives the much needed vitamins and nutrients for our body to function properly. According
to Ginger Arboleda (2010) she said that food industries are inevitable especially in our
country of endless works. We need a place where we can eat while we work and study. A
school is a place where there are many activities that uses up its student’s energy. A school
provides a canteen as a place where students can eat and relax and for them regain energy.
She also said that ambiance and atmosphere is a very important attribute that a canteen
must have.
In running a canteen, there are certain rules to be followed. There must be a potable
drinking water and facilities for washing, a clean and ventilated environment, food cover
and containers to maintain its cleanliness, and for safe keeping. This rules would help in
making students comfortable and satisfied especially when it comes to food safety
standards. (DepEd,2007).
A canteen not only matters in its function to sell different kinds of food, but its ability to
make students socialize and develop friendships, to be a study place for people where they
can maintain mental power and a place to sit back, relax and take a break from all the

Conclusion
According to our respondents the service of the school canteen is not good, they repeat
their product/food everyday. They also says that the food that they served is not healthy
sometimes and their staff is not that friendly or not approachable. Almost all of them also
says that their service is good sometimes only. The respondents also says that the canteen
area is hygienic. But the respondents are experiencing not being prioritize by the staff
sometimes. A lot of them are also experiencing eating in the cantteen while there’s still
dirty dishes in the table and also eating in the canteen with flies or hair inside the food. So,
they must still improve their service and food so that they can attract a lot of students to eat
in the canteen. They must also check the food that they are serving to avoid being critisize
by the students and also to avoid food poisoning because poisoning is very common
nowadays.
