Festive Menus with Care Control

One of the many things that makes Christmas so special is all the delicious food. There is nothing better than sitting down for a Christmas lunch, passing out on the sofa from eating to much food, then finding the room to fit in a cheese board.  For a lot of our new customers who have transitioned from paper over to digital, you will be pleased to know your Chef can plan their entire Christmas Meal on Care Control!

That’s right, with Care Control setting up menus is simple! Create and design menus within the app with ease and for that extra personalisation add a description of what the meal contains. If you have specific meals for those who are gluten-free or are on a low-carb diet, you can customise this through menu names. If your chef is off on holiday, they can pre-set menus and schedule them to go live and end at a specific date. This feature is great for getting organised!

Gone are the days of paper order taking and kitchen team visiting rooms to collect orders. Instead, Care Control allows Carers to take orders digitally or allow residents to select themselves. Your kitchen team can upload pictures of meal choices helping residents understand their choices, increase their appetite, and encourage them to choose independently.

Now, this is the cool part! You know when you go into a restaurant, and they take your order on a phone and it gets sent straight to the kitchen? Well, you can do exactly that with Care Control! Your kitchen team can view orders and see if there are any requests made by residents for their food to be a certain way. How great is that!

Being able to pre-plan menus and get a good understanding of what residents want will help save time and money, especially when it comes to food wastage.

So, how can Care Control menus help you this Christmas? It’s simple! Create your menu plans now and pre-save the templates. Having this stored on Care Control will help you accurately plan what you need to purchase ahead of the day’s festivities. Having access to menus will also allow kitchen staff to see who has specific diet requirements, allowing them to prepare.
