The environment or space that is used for the act of eating (eating food) is called a dining room . In homes, the dining room can be a room dedicated exclusively to this action or a sector integrated into another room (such as the kitchen-dining room or the living-dining room ).
For example: "Dinner is ready, you can go to the dining room" , "I want to change the dining room table for a more modern one" , "When I heard the explosion, I was sitting in the dining room with my wife and daughter." elderly" .
The dining room of a house can be used for breakfast , lunch , snack and/or dinner . It is usually located near the kitchen and has the necessary furniture so that people can eat comfortably: chairs, a table, etc.
When decorating a dining room, it is essential to take into account the prevailing trends in interior design at all times. So, for example, you have to know what the open dining rooms are that communicate directly with the kitchen, the minimalist style ones, the ones that have designer furniture, the rustic ones where wood is the main protagonist and also those that have elements with a marked vintage look. Not forgetting those that are presented with an island in the middle.
There are also canteens in educational establishments , companies and hotels , to name a few possibilities. In these cases, people use the space in question to eat in the middle of their daily obligations or activities. Suppose that the students of a school study from 8 to 16 hours. For the kids to have lunch, the establishment has a dining room where students go between 12 and 1 p.m. to eat. A technology company may also have a canteen where lunch is served to employees.
More and more companies, schools, institutes and universities are committed to having a canteen in which workers, in the first case, and students and teachers, in other cases, can eat properly at midday without having to go home to eat lunch.
This dining room must be in the hands of a catering service for groups that not only has experience but also has qualified and qualified professionals who prepare the dishes with seasonal and top-quality products.
In the same way, it is essential that this catering meets all the necessary requirements in terms of food safety and that it takes into account the dietary needs of the people who are going to go to the dining room. Thus, for example, if it is catering for a school, you must take into account what nutrients children need at those ages in order to establish an appropriate menu for them.
A soup kitchen, on the other hand, can be an establishment that serves free meals to needy people . These places, known as community kitchens or soup kitchens , carry out a charitable action, often with financial help from the State , NGOs or neighbors.
