Something else to consider is if the dog is used to eating one meal a day, he's going to wolf that down faster than is considered healthy, especially in company of other dogs. That could potentially make him eat even faster and more prone to vomiting or even food aggression. If he's still getting 3 cups a day but spread out I don't think it's that big of a deal. I get the annoyance of finding out a worker is not following your instructions down to every detail, but what if the instructions are not reasonable and put the dog's health at risk? Or the other dogs?
As for logic behind food restrictions, considering the owner's reasoning for water limitation and random dirt spicing, I doubt the owners have any rational "logic" for the 1 meal rule other than convienience. I question if they have any logic at all. Honestly it sounds like they are trying some experimental nonsense without factoring in what's best for a growing puppy.
