Our Kitchens
Kitchens are the heart of the Recall Social Foundation.

Our centralised kitchens have the capacity to handle large-scale feeding, typically preparing up to 100,000 meals a day, while ensuring safe handling, preparation, and delivery. These kitchens manage all operations from a single point of control, including receiving and storing raw materials, preparing and delivering meals, and ongoing maintenance. The scale and operational efficiency of these semi-automated kitchens allow us to maximise the impact of our school feeding programme.

Centralised Kitchens
Cooking in the centralised kitchens begins early in the morning. All kitchens are equipped with cauldrons, trolleys, rice chutes, dal/sambar tanks, cutting boards, knives, and other essential equipment, all sanitised before use. Each rice cauldron can hold 500 litres, and each dal/sambar cauldron can cook between 1,200 to 3,000 litres of dal. Our menu is tailored to the local palate. In North India, where roti is an essential part of the diet, kitchens are equipped with roti-making machines capable of producing 200,000 rotis from 6,000 kg of wheat flour. All vessels are made of stainless steel 304, food-grade material.

Decentralised Kitchens
In areas where difficult terrain or poor road connectivity makes large infrastructure impractical, we use a decentralised model. Here, meals are prepared by local women following the Recall Social Foundation’s kitchen process and operations module. Each of these kitchens typically serves a single school, ensuring safe, nutritious meals for children in remote locations.
