The canteen is invisible when it runs well. And very loud when it doesn't.

For facilities, procurement and operations teams, complaints about food, hygiene or vendor responsiveness all land on your desk. On a 24/7 site, they land at 3am too.

Catering Corner takes that off your plate. Staff canteens are all we do, and we run them across Singapore. We cater events only for our own canteen clients. Your canteen gets our full attention: good food, warm service and clean operations, day in and day out.

“I run this personally, so there’s a straight line to me when anything needs sorting. No help desk ticket, no account manager relay.”

Clarence Ho, Owner and Chief Executive

What a 24/7 staff canteen needs

A canteen for shift workers is not an office cafeteria with longer hours. We plan it around how your site actually runs:

  • Meal periods built around shift changes, so each shift gets a proper hot meal, not leftovers from lunch
  • Surge planning for shift handovers, with extra counters and staff when hundreds of people arrive at once
  • Hearty suppers for night shifts: a carbohydrate staple such as noodles, bee hoon or fried rice, with a few sides
  • Snacks between meals: filling buns, dumplings and bites sold throughout the day, so every shift can refuel
  • The same hygiene standards at 3am as at noon, with cleaning schedules and food safety checks across every shift
  • Order ahead: QR code ordering and app pre-ordering let staff order before their break, so short breaks aren’t spent queuing
  • Round-the-clock staffing, with rosters and leave cover managed by us

Halal staff canteens

We operate MUIS halal-certified canteen stalls under MUIS’s Eating Establishment scheme. MUIS certifies each site separately, so certification does not transfer between sites. For a new canteen that needs halal food, we apply for MUIS certification for your site as part of the set-up.

Our daily menus, including economic rice, nasi padang, noodle dishes and plated specials, are designed for a multicultural workforce.

Case study: RTX, aerospace MRO facility in Changi North

Catering Corner runs the staff canteen at RTX’s aerospace MRO facility in Changi North, serving 1,000 meals a day to 500 employees across 3 shifts, 24 hours a day. We took over the canteen in early 2026. Staff were then asked to compare it with the canteen before (January 2026 and earlier):

94% of staff want Catering Corner to continue as their canteen operator. None said no.

“Working with Catering Corner is a breeze. While they might not get everything right at the get-go, they are hyper responsive and responsible, working with us collaboratively for the benefit of our employees.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you run a staff canteen 24 hours a day?

Yes. We run staff canteens 24/7 and on extended hours for factories, MRO hangars and other shift-based sites, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper around your shift pattern. Plans for 24/7 sites start from S$14,800 a month.

Is your staff canteen halal-certified?

We operate MUIS halal-certified canteen stalls under the Eating Establishment scheme. MUIS certifies each site separately, so for a new canteen we apply for halal certification for your site during set-up.

Who operates halal staff canteens for factories in Singapore?

Catering Corner Pte Ltd operates MUIS halal-certified canteen stalls in Singapore, and applies for MUIS certification for each new factory or shift-site canteen that needs halal food. We manage the certification, halal-compliant procurement and kitchen processes as part of running the canteen.

How do you handle queues at shift change?

We plan staffing and counters around your shift handovers, and staff can order ahead by QR code or app pre-order. At DB Schenker, average waiting time fell from 16 minutes to 3 minutes after we took over.

What if our site has no kitchen?

For sites under 300 employees, we can serve meals prepared in our own SFA-licensed central kitchen and served on site by our staff. Large 24/7 sites run best with an equipped on-site kitchen.

Who do we call when something goes wrong?

You deal directly with our Chief Executive, Clarence Ho. Call or WhatsApp him on +65 8541 2363. There is no help desk or account manager in between, and issues are resolved within 24 hours.

Can you take over from our current canteen operator without a gap in service?

Yes. We agree a handover date with your current operator and plan the transition so meals continue without a break. Most sites launch 8 weeks after contract award.

What does a staff canteen operator need to be licensed for in Singapore?

A staff canteen operator needs SFA food licences for the premises it runs, and MUIS certification for any halal stalls. Catering Corner holds SFA licences for staff canteen, catering and central kitchen operations, is MUIS halal-certified for canteen stalls and is bizSAFE Level 3 certified.
