Patient Food Ordering Software in Healthcare Foodservice
If you attended the 2022 Association for Healthcare Foodservice (AHF) Conference, you know that one key takeaway was labor challenges. Foodservice departments have constantly struggled with high staff turnover, and many workers are now transitioning to other industries for comparable wages. How can healthcare foodservice operators do more with less? Among other automation solutions, patient food ordering software provides numerous benefits to uphold safety and satisfaction despite limited staff.

Comfort, Convenience, and Control
Mobile food ordering and delivery services have seen exponential growth over the past few years, revolutionizing consumer expectations. Users can explore menus, place orders, and coordinate deliveries within various apps and websites. Now consider a hospitalized individual in an unfamiliar setting; perhaps they are facing a great deal of discomfort or celebrating the birth of a child. The last thing they need is uncertainty regarding their next meal.
By implementing patient food ordering software, hospitals can offer their patients some of the convenience and joy of dining at home. The option to order meals from the comfort of their mobile devices gives patients a sense of agency when they might otherwise feel restricted.
An ideal self-ordering solution should be intuitively designed to help patients log in, personalize an order, and choose a delivery time in a way with which many people are already familiar. Streamlining the food ordering process will greatly enhance a patient’s hospital experience and empower them to choose what they want and when to eat it.
