Abstract:
The Center for Children’s Foodservice Management periodically visited children’s foodservice facilities forhygiene, safety and nutrition management, and the ‘HSQ (Hygiene Safety Quotient) and NQ (NutritionQuotient) Management Web & App Program’ was developed and applied to improve the health, safety, andnutrition management status of children’s foodservice facilities. The HSQ is a comprehensive hygiene andsafety index consisting of six categories from the hygiene and safety checklist for children’s foodservice facilitiesprovided by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The NQ is a nutrition index for foodservice facilitiesconsisting of five categories from the nutrition checklist. First, this program can be used to efficientlyunderstand the actual conditions of children’s foodservice. Foodservice facilities are provided with the resultreport prepared by the center without restrictions on time or place. Second, it can be used as “a channel forcomfortable communication with foodservice facilities”. Foodservice facilities are provided with a route wherequestions and resolutions can be communicated to the center. Third, it is easy to compare and review the resultsof foodservice facilities by institution and number of visits while downloading the results data at thesame time, as the result report is written based on hygiene, safety, and nutrition visits. Through such programs,it is believed that standardized work and integrated management will improve the work efficiency ofthe center’s employees. It is also thought that these programs will promote healthier life-styles in children byestablishing a safe food environment for children’s foodservice.
