Stray animals and birds were observed in 14.3 percent units. Majority (71.4 percent) of the catering units had concrete floors; roofing sheets (87.3 percent) were used as the construction material for ceiling and weld mesh (91.3 percent) instead of windows. Statistically, significant relation was found between manufacturer’s who has more than 10 years of experience with location of the outdoor catering units as well as the cleanliness of the atmosphere.
