With MKN kitchen technology, daycare centres create the ideal conditions for healthy, fresh and tasty meals that children love – and happily finish. At the same time, intuitive operation and automated processes make everyday work easier – even for staff who aren't professional chefs.
A good daycare kitchen has to deliver two things at once: varied meals for children and simple, reliable processes for the team. Our solution supports both – with versatile cooking methods, clear operation and automated programmes that cut down the work steps in everyday routines.
Children should be able to enjoy fresh, varied meals every day. At the same time, many facilities work with small kitchens, changing teams and staff without formal culinary training. That's exactly why the technology has to be simple, safe and supportive – so good catering stays practical in everyday daycare.
For daycare centres, we focus on what's really needed every day: SpaceCombi® and induction. Two appliances that complement each other – professional combi cooking and classic pot cooking, all in a compact footprint.
Not every daycare centre has room for a classic commercial kitchen. That's exactly where the SpaceCombi® comes in – bringing professional combi steaming to places where every centimetre counts.
Why exactly these two technologies? Because they take on different tasks – and only together do they make a complete fresh-cooking kitchen.
We don't make the food healthy – that's down to the menu and the kitchen. We create the technical conditions for it: different cooking methods in one compact kitchen, so daycare centres can cook fresh, flexibly and with plenty of variety.
Children eat at fixed times. Professional cooking technology and fast-responding induction help you get different components ready perfectly timed – instead of having to keep an eye on everything at once.
Professional technology shouldn't add complexity – it should make work easier. It doesn't replace skilled staff, but it takes decisions and tasks off the team's hands that eat up time in everyday daycare.
The work doesn't end once the food is served. With staff in short supply, the key question is: how long will we still be busy with the kitchen afterwards?
In many daycare centres, educators or semi-skilled staff take on parts of the catering. That's why the cooking process has to succeed reliably – no culinary know-how required.
The most cost-effective kitchen isn't the one with the most appliances – it's the one with the right technology for your actual needs. Four questions make the difference.
Existing daycare kitchens can often be upgraded without new construction. Whether that's possible in your case without structural changes depends on the room, electrics and ventilation – we'll take a look at it together.
