Course Overview
Can you offer a menu that excites your residents and/or guests, meets their nutritional needs, and doesn't break your budget?
In this course, you'll examine a framework to help you align your food service operation with your organizational needs. You'll also examine trends and how they might have a place in your food service operation, and you'll access resources to help you keep on top of those trends. You'll review a healthcare facility menu and reflect on what's good and where there's room for improvement. You'll design, or re-design, your own menu and then build a plan to collect and analyze feedback on that menu. You'll also interact with a tool to help you make sure your concept is viable.
