Operational Workflow

From "Menu Plan" to "Plate"
In One Seamless Flow.

We replace the chaos of multiple vendors, spreadsheet math, and grocery runs with a single, automated system powered by culinary logic.

STEP 1

Facility Profiling

We don't just send food; we map your facility's DNA. During onboarding, we input your exact bed count, resident dietary needs (Puree, Diabetic, Renal), and kitchen equipment capabilities.

  • โœ“ Census-based quantity calculation
  • โœ“ Therapeutic diet ratios setup
  • โœ“ Delivery window scheduling

STEP 2

Automated Menu Planning

You select one of our RD-Approved 5-Week Cycle Menus. These aren't just PDF lists; they are data objects. Every meal (e.g., "Roast Chicken") is linked to a specific recipe, ingredient list, and yield factor.

*Need to swap a meal? Click "Swap" and the shopping list updates instantly.

STEP 3

Smart Procurement Logic

This is where the magic happens. Our system calculates exactly what you need. If the recipe calls for 4oz of chicken per person for 60 people, we calculate the raw weight required (accounting for cooking shrinkage) and ship exactly that amount.

The Result: No ordering 50lbs of potatoes when you only need 10lbs. No shelf-stable inventory collecting dust.

Direct-to-Dock Delivery

Your kitchen staff stops being "shoppers" and starts being chefs. The full order arrives on a single pallet. Included in the box (or digital dashboard) are the Production Sheets and Diet Extension Guides for that week's meals.

  • โœ“ No retail price markups

Why It Works Better

It's not just food delivery; it's an operating system for your kitchen.

Yield Optimization

Most kitchens lose 15% of cost to "yield loss" (peeling, trimming, cooking shrinkage). Our system calculates the Edible Portion (EP) vs As Purchased (AP) weight, ensuring you buy enough to feed everyone without buying 20% extra "just in case."

Regulatory Shield

State surveyors check if the menu matches the plate. Since we deliver the exact ingredients for the posted menu, compliance is automatic. We also provide the signed RD approval letter for your files.

Labor De-Skilling

Turnover is high. Our system provides Step-by-Step Production Guides that allow even entry-level cooks to execute high-quality meals safely, including complex texture modifications for dysphagia.

Common Questions

What if I want to change a meal?

Easy. Log into your dashboard, select the meal you want to swap (e.g., swap Fish for Meatloaf), and our system automatically updates the shopping list and cost projection instantly.

Do you supply emergency stock?

Yes. We include a standard "Always Available" pantry list (grilled cheese, eggs, soups) to ensure you always have backup options for residents who don't want the daily special.

Is there a contract?

We operate on a 5-week cycle commitment. We believe the savings and convenience will keep you with us, not a long-term binding contract.
