DIET 4360 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Dietitian, Sodexo
Document Summary
The menu type for this facility is a room service style menu with a 5-week cycle of specials. The patients receive a menu when they are admitted, and they call in to the diet office with their order requests for each meal. The psychiatric and doc patients are given a menu in which they circle their orders for all their meals for the following day and these menus are sent to the diet office for them to manually enter in. The cycle of specials coincides with the season. This is an effective menu style for this facility because it allows the patients to have more freedom in choosing their meals, while also providing more options for patients on special diets to still choose their meals. It is also helpful because patients can call at any time to order, meaning if a patient has surgery or lab work done they can still order their dinner afterwards and will not miss out.
