Ellyn Elson, R.D. - Coach and Cheerleader.

The genesis for Computrition began in 1980, when Ellyn Luros, then owning a nutrition management consulting firm, realized an opportunity in the areas of computerized nutritional analysis and foodservice operations management. From that, Computrition was born and the Company installed its first software system in 1982. Since its inception, Computrition’s mission has been to lead the foodservice industry through technology and innovation by providing the highest quality software products and services. Computrition’s early vision of an automated “back-of-the-house" system for healthcare and other foodservice operations is coupled today with a strong commitment to Internet-related technologies that expand the power and reach of the Computrition system for its diverse client base. As the world's leading software provider for foodservice, nutrition care management, and web-based systems, Computrition strives to produce innovative solutions for customers' evolving needs.
