The challenges of a care kitchen
Care facilities have different requirements from restaurants or catering. The margins are smaller, the consequences greater.
Continuity of meal provision
An appliance failure cannot have consequences for meal provision. Your kitchen must run reliably, including on weekends and public holidays.
HACCP and food safety
Care kitchens are subject to strict supervision. Temperature logging, hygienic routing and separation of risk groups are mandatory and are inspected.
Dietary and allergen management
Residents have different dietary needs and allergies. Errors in preparation or service have direct consequences for the health of vulnerable people.
