New innovations and ideas for developing the kitchen:

1. The city was divided into four zones with the aim of speeding up distribution in one hour, and each zone carries a symbol and a code, for example the family [15 J]. The letter G means the family zone, which is a family located in the works zone, and the number 15 symbolizes the arrangement of the beds from the same zone. 

2. Food containers have been changed from single-use plastic, which harms the environment, to healthy food containers so that the food reaches families hot. At the same time, they are environmentally friendly, which reduces the process of global warming.

How are information and technological systems used in the project? 

• All information for each family is entered individually.

• Families are sorted and divided into several categories.

• The target groups for the kitchen are selected within a specific period of time.

• Distributors' statements are printed.

• The menu is prepared and changed on a monthly basis.
