Abstract
The goal of the study was to find out if there was a link between how the school
canteen was run and how happy the students were with the food service. As statistical
tools, the r-value of 0.693 (Pearson r) and the p-value of.001 (Pearson p) was used. The
001 (Pearson p) were used as statistical tools. The indicators of school canteen

and consistency, and levels of food service satisfaction, all significantly contribute to
student satisfaction. Hence, the school canteen managers are encouraged to improve

Chapter I
A canteen is where food is served and eaten and where different snack and drink
products are sold. A school has a canteen so students can get the food and nutrition
they need and the energy to do their daily work (Norman, 2019). Ewa Czarniecka-
Skubina et al. (2019) say that the university or college canteen should offer menus that
promote a healthy diet without limiting their food options or considering new nutritional
trends.
financial decisions of everyday life in the schools as used by the employees and the
students. Also, the governing boards have the power to manage and hire the canteen
services, which gives them more power and helps them raise money. The school
counselors gave the canteen manager instructions on products, or they called special
Segua (2017) says the Department of Education ensures its curriculum supports
programs, including food and nutrition. The researcher said the canteen should serve as
the place or venue for developing eating habits. The canteen should also be used

part of promoting health at school because of its role. When students use the
canteen on a regular basis, the food they buy there is a big part of their daily diet and
Students only patronize products that are of high quality, and poor services are
abhorred. Zellner (2016) and Napitupulu (2018) say that this is why some students aren't
as happy with the food and services at their canteen. Lawis et al. (2016) say that putting
policies in place is very important, but there are still some canteens whose policies need
to be looked at. It results in customers receiving satisfactory low rates. Also, Pascual
and Abents (2016) and Weerasinghe et al. (2017) found that students' satisfaction is
affected by not having a place that is comfortable and well-ventilated and by not having

canteen. The school canteen follows a guideline on management set by the Department
of Education (DepEd) in its DepEd Order No.8 series of guidelines and management of
the school canteen for the elementary and secondary levels. These guidelines are
implemented to ensure the safety and healthfulness of the foods the school canteen
serves.
Some students are concerned about the food they consume on a daily basis, but
they are unaware of the practices that may influence their health. When food is
Food must have nutritional content because it helps maintain body function and
keeps the brain functioning. The school food environment needs to be healthy so that
students can make healthier food choices and learn to eat well.
Galvez (2018) states that effective canteen management requires that everyone
involved know its goals and objectives with its policies, that canteen staff and the
canteen committee develop an implementation plan to achieve the canteen policy goals
and day- to-day operational procedures, and that staff be trained and supervised.
There are different ways to run a school canteen, depending on how the school is set

The State Government of Victoria (2016) said that school canteens and
other school food services are critical educational resources. They are an important part
of the school environment because they feed the students and the rest of the school
community. The school canteen should reflect the school's educational goals and
support and complement student learning. When eaten every day, food from the school
canteen can make up as much as a third of a student's total daily intake and have a big
impact on their health and nutrition. This shows how vital the school canteen is and how
it plays a role in students' daily lives. It is said the canteen reflects the school's
educational goals, so the more it is well managed, the more its goals and values are
upheld.

Tarlac State University found that the students were happy because of the good
atmosphere, cleanliness, and taste of the food. The factor that most students would like
to be more satisfied with is the price. They suggested that the school canteen take into
account that some students can't afford to buy food every day and offer the "Ambula" as

service was. It shows that the characteristics of the staff person can satisfy the students

to service. To make sure the canteen is clean and healthy, the school needs to know if
the students are happy with the service and make that a priority.
The school canteen needs to make a policy for the managers, which the staff will
then follow. The school council is responsible for the canteen and its policies,
the employment and dismissal of staff, and the ordering of goods for the canteen. The
rules and guidelines have to be followed in most of the schools; there must be clean
washing facilities, the canteen must have proper ventilation and lighting, and the
facilities should have a bigger space. The food containers, equipment, and utensils must
maintain their cleanliness. The rules and regulations would help make the students
comfortable and satisfied when it comes to safety standards. (DepEd Order No.13

Improving the nutritional value of food sold in school canteens can be challenging,
mainly when fresh and healthy foods are often more expensive than highly processed
alternatives. Even foods that have high nutritional values can be more expensive
now. The solutions to stocking school canteens with fresh and healthy foods are

variety of unhealthy foods and drinks, such as snack foods and soft drinks found in food
Price is one of the biggest problems among students; the canteen must ensure that they
sell low-cost items that can fill the hunger of the students and that they have nutritional

Managing a school canteen is not simple; it includes being responsible for the
food the canteen serves, the clean and well-ventilated facilities, and the financial
stability. The school canteen is also responsible for making sure that customers are

(Blakemore S.J., Burnett S., Dahl R.E., 2010; World Health Organization Adolescent

People think that this is the reason why food poisoning keeps happening
in schools: food handlers don't know enough about food safety, and schools use
food service systems that involve a lot of food processing and handling. Throughout the
study, people tended to answer as a group, picking an answer based on whether or not
they thought it was right rather than based on what they knew. The results showed that
food handlers should pay more attention to the rules for running the school
canteen. It is recommended that authorities and canteen managers take steps to help
people who work with food learn more about food safety through regular training, food
safety classes, and the distribution of comprehensive circulars. This is also applicable to

Facilities management is the process of taking care of and managing all facilities and
customer satisfaction from a theoretical standpoint. The model suggests that when
people buy goods and services, they have expectations about how they will work. The
expectation level then becomes a standard against which the product is judged. That is,
once the product or service has been used, outcomes are compared against
outcomes. A cusA customer is either happy or unhappy based on how well or badly

According to Stoncham (2017), the canteen manager is the one who manages
the financial stability of the canteen. The school canteen needs to have enough
resources for the students to buy more nutritious foods that are affordable. It is important
to know how to balance the expenses with the profit. Improving the nutritional value of
food sold in school canteens can be a challenge. School canteens need to follow and be
recognized for following the good practice guidelines, balanced with the need to build
the capacity of schools. Canteen managers and suppliers should make innovative and
