Athena Staffing Answers
School cafeteria staffing in Ottawa — temporary food service staff for school lunch programs
When a cafeteria worker calls out sick and lunch service is in four hours, schools need a staffing solution that does not require a full hiring process. Athena provides temporary cafeteria and kitchen staffing for Ottawa schools that need dependable coverage for their food service programs.

Cafeteria attendants, food service workers, prep cooks, line cooks, and kitchen helpers for school food service programs.
Why Athena
School food service has specific requirements around food handling, pace, and the ability to serve a high volume of students efficiently. Athena places workers with the right experience for the school cafeteria environment.
Who This Is For
School principals, cafeteria managers, and food service directors at Ottawa elementary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions.
Answer
School cafeterias in Ottawa operate on tight service windows — often less than 60 minutes to serve hundreds of students across multiple lunch periods. A coverage gap does not get absorbed quietly. It gets felt immediately by every student and staff member in the building.
Athena provides temporary cafeteria staffing for Ottawa schools that need to cover callouts, illness, or short-term staffing gaps without disrupting the lunch program. We place cafeteria attendants and food service workers who understand the pace of a school kitchen and can contribute from the first shift.
Ottawa’s school system spans Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, Ottawa Catholic School Board, and francophone school boards across the city — along with several independent schools and post-secondary institutions. Athena can support food service operations across that landscape.
For post-secondary institutions — including Algonquin College, University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and Saint Paul University — cafeteria and food service demands are more complex and higher volume. Athena can support both the sudden coverage gap and the planned headcount increases around event periods.
If your school or institution needs a reliable temporary staffing source for cafeteria and food service operations, contact Athena.
