Leaving a hallway between the tables and benches allows cooks to move faster when serving meals and cleaning up the mess afterwards.They can be placed back to back to save space, as shown in the image to the right. Make sure to have enough tables and benches or chairs so your prisoners can eat under good conditions.If supply is much higher than demand, then more trays of unfinished food will be left around, leaving more trays to clean after the eating time is done in the regime. If demand is much greater than supply, that means that not enough prisoners are being fed.
Logistics will also show the supply and demand of a canteen. This can be used to distribute the prisoners over various canteens nicely without having masses of them all at the same place. In the Food Distribution view of the Logistics menu, you can assign which kitchens should serve which canteens and nurseries, and which canteens should serve which cell blocks. Otherwise they will be disposed of and clean ones bought after every meal.įemale prisoners with babies will instead have their meals in the Nursery. These will be cleaned by the Cooks if there is a Sink nearby. When meal time is over, the prisoners will leave their dirty food trays behind. When the Regime says it's time for a meal, the prisoners will rush to the canteen, grab a Food Tray with food and head to the benches.
