First, it is convenient to eat, just at home;
Second, it is cheap and good, and the public accepts it highly. For example, Yunlin Dining Hall has more than 40 kinds of steamed vegetables, cooked vegetables and stewed dishes every day, as well as more than a dozen staple foods and fried side dishes for everyone to choose from, and 50% of the dishes are updated every week. The dishes are richer than many canteens, and the price is quite close to the people. Twenty dollars is well managed.
With the deepening of social aging, the elderly will face more and more life problems. Community canteens can provide just three meals a day, which can solve the most basic needs of the elderly and improve their quality of life in their later years.
If the old man and the younger generation eat together, they are either busy with the meal of a large family or can't eat a piece of taste, which is difficult to please. The potential market of canteen is considerable, especially in the old city where the elderly are concentrated. It is necessary to plan and operate some community canteens mainly serving the elderly.
Because it is cheap catering, the construction and operation of community canteens need the policy and financial support of local governments at all levels.
First of all, this work can be incorporated into the government's practical project for the people, so as to achieve goals, policies and effectiveness. For example, give preferential treatment or relief to land use, rent, water and electricity and other taxes;
Secondly, state-owned enterprises or some caring enterprises in the jurisdiction can be encouraged to join the subsidy, and even enterprises can be encouraged to run community canteens to give preferential treatment to the elderly over 60 years old in the jurisdiction;
Third, elderly volunteers can be recruited to serve community canteens in turn, and they are responsible for some simple tasks such as selecting dishes in the kitchen, washing dishes, collecting bowls in the lobby, cleaning tables, etc. This can not only reduce operating costs, but also allow aunts and grandmothers who are keen on cooking to practice their hands and make friends, provided that their physical conditions permit.
