The Beep Canteen & Mess Cook Skills certification checks whether you can cook for a crowd the way hostel messes and factory canteens need — planning raw rice, dal and atta per person, rechecking the head count before every meal, and cooking long items first so everything is hot at service time.
It also covers running gas cylinders, steam cookers and pressure vessels safely, what to do the moment you smell gas, handling leftover rice and dal so they do not make people ill, using older stock first and working out the cost of each plate.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.
