Reporter Yang Yuning Correspondent Ye Zihan) "Eating here is very affordable, and the dining environment is also very good, which is much more convenient than cooking at home." Recently, at the "Happy Canteen" Haizhu North Road store, Qiu Abor shared the in-store dining experience with reporters.
The construction of "Happy Canteen", as one of the practical projects of people's livelihood in our district in 2023, has been attracting much attention. This year, after full investigation and investigation, the District Civil Affairs Bureau selected areas with a relatively high concentration of elderly people, convenient transportation, suitable environment, good infrastructure and meeting the layout requirements of catering establishments, and built 9 new "happy canteens" to make the taste of happiness bloom everywhere.
1) Each "happy canteen" in our district has participated in the renovation for the elderly, and in order to make it convenient for the elderly to enter and exit, the store is built on the first floor as much as possible. The interior of the restaurant is simple and atmospheric, comfortable and beautiful, and the atmosphere of filial piety and love for the elderly is also created through wall stickers and other methods, and the birthday corner of the elderly, the activity area for the elderly, and the convenience service area are set up.
In the "Happy Canteen" Haizhu North Road store, the menu bar in the store displays: 10 yuan "two vegetarian dishes + rice + soup", 15 yuan "one meat and one vegetarian + rice + soup". "We have dishes for the elderly here, **dishes, small dishes, happiness**, etc., and we also provide free appetizers for the elderly. During your meal, you can also enjoy free tea and soup. According to the manager of the store, in line with the basic principle of giving priority to the elderly and sharing inclusively, the dishes are generally lower than those of the same kind and of the same quality in the market.
It is understood that the "Happy Canteen" in the whole district will give 20% discount to the elderly aged 60 to 79, 7% discount to the elderly 80 to 89 years old, and 6% discount to the elderly aged 90 and above. During lunch and dinner, the maximum spending amount per person per meal is RMB 40. The elderly can also enjoy a discount of 50 yuan for a charge of 200 yuan or 50 yuan for a charge of 300 yuan on the basis of a unified discount. The discount of "Happy Canteen" varies in different regions. In addition, during traditional festivals, the "Happy Canteen" will also provide free snacks or heart-warming gifts for the elderly, organize and carry out public welfare activities of filial piety and respect for the elderly, launch loving activities and warm-hearted services, and advocate a good atmosphere of respecting and loving the elderly.
2) The ingredients are fresh, inexpensive, and the environment is comfortable, and the "Happy Canteen" signboard has gradually been launched, and a batch of repeat customers have been harvested.
All ingredients, before we use them, all must be filtered and inspected, to ensure that the elderly can eat with peace of mind. Wu Jingna, the person in charge of the "Happy Canteen" Puwan District 2 store, said that since the store was in operation, there has been an endless stream of elderly people who have come to eat, and it is full almost every day.
From the dining environment, food hygiene, service attitude, to the nutrition of the dishes, the "Happy Canteen" has strict supervision and management requirements. In addition to the unified management system of food purchase, storage, processing, processing, and sample retention, public areas and related equipment and items are responsible for cleaning, disinfection, oil, smoke, sewage, kitchen waste, etc., all need to be handled in accordance with the specifications, and accept random inspections and inspections by functional departments from time to time.
There are also more than 40 home-based elderly care service (care) centers in our district to provide meal delivery services for the elderly in fishing villages and remote islands to protect the "happiness on the tip of the tongue".
Next year, we will continue to combine the dining needs of the elderly, and gradually improve the meal assistance service system for the elderly in our district, so that the 'happy canteen' will become a convenient, comfortable and warm place for the elderly, enjoy the benefits brought by social development, and further improve the happiness index of the elderly in our district. The relevant person in charge of the District Civil Affairs Bureau said.
