Working together in healthcare dining room meal service

Coming together for mealtimes, it’s a tradition!

We naturally eat more and make better food choices in a communal setting. Creating a dining experience for your residents will see new friendships and growing relationships around the table to keep your residents engaged and active in their community. But ensuring that the food is transported, held, and presented safely at the correct temperatures, while still maintaining its nutritional value and appetising appearance after it leaves the central kitchen is a vital requirement for your dining room meal service.

Healthcare meal service is constantly evolving. Current research suggests that the environment where people eat is just as important as what they are eating. Room design, table place settings, food presentation and aroma are all key elements in creating a dining experience for aged care residents. Investing in their resident’s dining experience, homes are putting the call out to chefs from all backgrounds, to bring their knowledge and experience to create modern comfort food. Embracing fresh food for taste and texture, as well as balancing nutritional requirements.

Within the healthcare and catering industry, the Moffat Group has made their mark in the commercial kitchen segment by manufacturing and supplying new technologies to make a difference in the modern food production in all areas of the food service industry.
