Dear SnowWhite,
I request you not to take this topic. I feel u r not going to manage the canteen. Because while coming to Admin, then u can research on this. But there lot of things u hav to learn right now. i feel you can do in competency mapping, ER Etc., try to in subject, dont do it as thesis, do as intenship.... and i feel to try in manufacturing industries. this is my opinion....
All the best...

hi snow white ....
greetings for the day!!!!!!!!
i dnt think this project will help u out in anyways inHR.. u r a fresher in HR so firstly u have to know wat is HR focussing on the main aspects of HR rather than on the secondary issues...
u get an exposure to the HR functions in a good company preferably manufacturing because as a project work u will have lesser time so better to know HR & its functions at a glance in this shorter period.
and never think of the prestige issue after all its a matter of ur career....
just say ur uncle that ur college is not accepting this project so had to find some relevant project....
dnt worry ...all the best ....
happy days.......

Dear Snow White,
Hope your problem is resolved and the topic is changed.
Or else... you can enlarge the scope of topic to include designing a fare that satisfies the tastes of most employees at the same time provides variety at a reduced cost.
I agree with the earlier comments. Its purely an admin issue and not much of HR angle to it.
Some of the ways of cost cutting include:
Bulk buying
Reduce frills like paper napkins, plastic forks, fancy water cups and also modifying the menu to reduce the size of helpings.
You will need to examine what gets wasted or left out at the end of the day to determine the non essentials in the Menu.
An estimate of the calorific value of the diet and age group of the employees and their eating patterns.... all this would form part of the study.
Hope it helps.

Dear Snowhite,
The calorific value is calculated by taking the number of calories in a 100 gram helping of each item and then calculating the total calorific value of the meal.
On an average an average human needs 2000 calories per day and therefore the Lunch should never exceed 1000 calories.
Work around the menu and cost taken together and you will be able to hit upon a suitable balanced nutritious menu within the target budget.
A major tip for a balanced meal is to have the right combination of Carbs, Fat, fiber and Proteins. You can get this info on the web and then can work out the right proportions depending on the profile of your employees.
It’s an interesting project and as an HR Manager will give you great insights into profiling of the workforce.
Good Luck and God Bless.
