Selection Help

When selecting the best meal tray for your institutional foodservice dining operation, you will want to take into consideration the following things:

Do I need a meal tray with a lid for transport? Do I only need trays for one meal type i.e. trays like dinner trays?
Will I be serving food directly on a compartment tray or providing prepackaged or plated meals that go on a cafeteria tray?
If I am replacing existing trays, am I happy with the tray I had, or would I like to look at other tray options that better meet my needs?
What sort of food tray you may need if you are serving throughout a long period of time? Do I need more insulation for my trays? Prison and jail trays are typically insulated.
