Senior citizen catering
Commercial catering in elderly and care homes: delicious food served well.
Tasty meals every day
Effective and appealing commercial catering for senior citizens brings pleasure and enjoyment to mealtimes. At the same time it is important that the food on offer meets specific nutritional requirements.
This is achieved by using high-quality, fresh ingredients – also when the elderly require smaller portions. Daily preparation in care facilities is equally important. With Cook & Serve, the wide selection of dishes can be controlled with full flexibility. With both methods, food is freshly prepared and the required portion size can be adjusted as required.
Habits and background are of particular importance when it comes to culinary preferences, especially as we age. Fresh preparation makes it easier to cater to individual wishes.
Bringing quality to the table
Regardless of whether food is served in a large dining hall, common room or the residents’ own rooms, soup should be hot and salad crisp and appetising. What sounds simple is often one of the major challenges in the catering industry. Cost-effectiveness and compliance with HACCP guidelines must be ensured, but ultimately everything centres on the diners, as mealtimes are often one of the highlights of their day.
Clever products and solutions by B.PRO facilitate the workflow – for perfect food distribution.
First-class solutions for Cook & Serve: our high-quality assistants are always there to help – whether ladling or tray system.
After cooking or preparation, the food is kept in Gastronorm containers ready for transport. It is then served directly and individually from food serving counters or trolleys.
Directly after cooking or preparation, food is pre- portioned on trays on the distribution conveyor. Once plated, the food is transported in well-insulated tray transport trolleys and then served.
Cook & Chill
When using COOK & CHILL preparation, the food is freshly cooked and then chilled immediately afterwards. The cold shock stops the cooking process, preserving both quality and the valuable nutrients. The cooled food components can be composed and stored flexibly before being gently regenerated shortly ahead of portioning and serving.
We explain the differences between Cook & Serve and Cook & Chill on the Food distribution page.
