commissary
Military grocery outlet
A commissary is a store or facility that provides food and supplies, typically within an institution.
Military bases have commissaries where service members buy groceries at reduced prices.
Prisons have commissaries where inmates purchase snacks, toiletries, and other items.
In film and television production, the commissary is the on-set cafeteria.
The word can also refer to a commercial kitchen where food is prepared for distribution to other locations.
