Food service for health sector

In special circumstances of illness and convalescence, gastronomic catering has a pretty special role. A demand-driven and health-promoting diet can support recovery as well as increase the quality of life. For this reason, an attractive gastronomic offer is a quality indicator for hospitals, retirement homes and rehabilitation facilities. The planning of the catering concept is the first step in the context of quality development. We support the implementation of individual and tailor-made solutions for the implementation of the concept.

The demand to meet the resulting catering requirements in view of different clinical pictures and to meet patients' personal preferences requires a highly specialized catering concept.

The quality level of nutrition plays a main role in the health and well-being of residents in retirement homes or people in rehabilitation facilities. Loss of appetite, chewing or swallowing issues entail the risk of malnutrition, which can be counteracted by a high-quality gastronomic offer.

The EFFORT research paper, published in 2019, highlights the central importance of nutrition on health and well-being and its impact on the progression of a disease.
The demand to meet the resulting catering requirements in view of different clinical pictures and to meet patients' personal preferences requires a highly specialized catering concept.
Functioning technology, devices which can achieve sales, as well as the ideal embedding in the infra-structure of the care facility are crucial aspects. The selection of commercial kitchen technology de-pends on the respective supply concept and must match the existing workflows.
In this context, what we recommend are furnishing variants allowing the optimized organization of the goods, considering workflows, and being embedded in the infrastructure of the care facility. A good organization of the goods and the sensible division of the kitchen is crucial to reduce walking distances and optimize processes. The planning and implementation are carried out in compliance with legal guidelines and regulations in the field of hygiene.

“For an academic teaching hospital with 2,000 employees and more than 1,000 patient beds with the claim to high-quality and good food despite a relatively small cooking area, we have found an ideal solution by making use of thermal food distribution trolleys. A special circulating air process preserves the specific properties of the food which is neither softened nor dried out. Thanks to a large variability in tray loading, an individual range of hot and cold components is made possible.”
