If you are in a company or a battalion, the cadres are usually at the same table. In addition to the normal four dishes and one soup, there are extra meals (camp is better than company), and the food is average, except when the working group comes to check (buffet), which is free.

If there is a unified canteen at the division, brigade and regiment levels, basically six dishes and one soup will taste just right, too oily and easy to get fat. Some units in the border defense of the war zone are free, and some have subsidies to play salary cards;

For example, the organs and ministries above the Corps level have unified social security for households or organs, and the dishes are diverse and the taste is acceptable, but the price is not low, and most of the leaders above the department have entertainment.

Above the region, the ministries and commissions are independent, and the food is good, especially the conference training guarantee. The standard of a few hundred a day can impress the grassroots. There are basically no big leaders to eat, and there is basically no subsidy. Most government cadres bring their own home;

The above is based on the grassroots vision. If it is a leader of a large unit, there must be different views.
