As a Head of Hospitality or Hospitality Director in a care home, you face a complex balancing act – meeting high resident expectations, ensuring top-tier service, and maintaining cost control, all while managing multiple service areas and staffing challenges.

The pressure to deliver quality experiences while juggling dietary needs, logistics, and budget constraints can be overwhelming. This is where procurement software, such as our Freshmarkets solution, becomes an invaluable tool.

Exceeding Current Resident Satisfaction While Controlling Costs

Residents and their families expect exceptional service, from well-prepared meals to a seamless hospitality experience. However, balancing these expectations with cost efficiency can be a challenge. Procurement software streamlines purchasing, allowing you to source high-quality products at the best prices while ensuring consistency in service. With us, you gain access to:

  • Centralised purchasing that leverages bulk buying power for cost savings.
  • Real-time budget tracking to prevent overspending.
  • Supplier management tools that ensure reliable product availability and quality.
  • Consolidated invoicing saves you time and cost, bringing all your suppliers into one, simple invoice
  • Clean billing process removes the need for credit notes, as any queries are resolved prior to invoicing

By automating procurement, you reduce time spent on manual ordering, minimise waste, and keep costs in check – all while maintaining the high standards your residents expect.

Simplifying Dietary Management and Compliance

Managing dietary needs and ensuring compliance with nutritional standards is a critical aspect of care home hospitality. Residents often require specialised diets that must be adhered to without compromise. And our menu management software, CaterCloud, simplifies this process by:

  • Offering menu planning tools that align with dietary requirements and resident preferences.
  • Automating allergen and nutritional tracking to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Reducing food waste through efficient stock management and portion control.

This ensures that residents receive nutritious, customised meals while staff can efficiently manage stock levels and minimise food costs.
