combined with the survey feedback data, the community canteen has determined a menu of more than 30 nutritious meals every day, and adopts two charging modes: self-selected weighing or self-selected set meal. among them, the self-selected weighing mode is priced at 3.2 yuan per two pieces, with the same price for meat and vegetables. the elderly can choose their own dishes and settle the bill by weighing; the self-selected set meal includes a variety of different combinations such as one vegetarian and one staple food, one meat, one vegetarian and one staple food, two meats, one vegetarian and one staple food, and the price ranges from 12 yuan to 25 yuan. the soup, porridge and staple food in the community canteen are free.

in addition, the reporter learned that in addition to serving the elderly with "healthy meals", the yijia lehuo community canteen also provides convenient meal assistance services to new employment groups such as takeaway riders and couriers. zhang dexin, the person in charge of the yijia lehuo community canteen, said that at the beginning of the trial operation of the community canteen, jiukeshu street took the initiative to build a platform to communicate and coordinate the dining matters of the "three new" groups. at present, the yijia lehuo community canteen has been launched on the "tree house" social mobilization platform built by jiukeshu street. surrounding residents can use the "sunshine value" accumulated by participating in social mobilization activities to exchange services at the community canteen.

the relevant person in charge of the tongzhou district senior citizens association said that in the future, they will focus on the goal of "the elderly have support, the elderly have fun, the elderly have something to contribute, the elderly have peace of mind, and the elderly have someone to rely on", and actively promote the standardization, chain and branding of community canteen operations. on the premise of adhering to small profits, sustainability and public welfare, they will fully extend the service population, service content and service radius of the community canteen, realize the sustainable operation of the community canteen, and strive to make the community canteen cover all street communities in the district as soon as possible.
