School Canteen Kitchen Equipment Kenya — Built for High-Volume Feeding

A school canteen needs large-capacity cooking equipment (ranges sized for student numbers), a servery line with bain maries or hot cupboards, bulk prep worktables, wash-up sinks, grease trap, and extensive dry and cold storage for bulk ingredient deliveries. All equipment must meet KEBS and HACCP food safety requirements.

A primary school canteen kitchen costs KSh 300,000–800,000. A boarding school kitchen for 200–500 students costs KSh 700,000–2,000,000. A large boarding school or university facility for 500–2,000 students costs KSh 1,500,000–4,000,000 depending on the menu complexity and meal frequency.
