Background

• Meal providers for the aged care sector produce meals within a central kitchen.

• Facilities order by tray for consumption by residents.

The Problem

• Means of ordering is not elegant:– Facilities must know tray sizes

rather than order by serve.– Must have direct access to

back end systems.– Security issues in doing so.– Potential licencing costs.

• No means to optimally produce trays:– Are the right amount of trays being produced?– Are production demands optimised

to minimise waste?

The Solution

• Menu Ordering System (MOS).• Web based application enables

users to make menu selections via password protected browser.

• Can convert orders, made inserves, to trays for optimal production thereby minimising wastage.

• Integrates with CBORD Foodservice Suite (FSS) for production. Loftus

Key Benefits 1

• Intuitive and Secure. Food orders are made via an intuitive and secure web based interface.

• Flexible. Tailored menus can be published for individual residential facilities or special purposes rather than a single menu for all.

Key Benefits 2

• Efficiencies. Capability to lower overheads. Example: costs in assembling, packing, labelling and sending trays. Also, ability to utilise admin time on higher value tasks.

• Integration. Further ability to leverage an investment in the CBORD FSS product.

The Result

Efficiency savings in transparent, easy meal ordering and production.

Improved image with Servery Supervisors and residents through greater flexibility of operation.

More environmentally friendly production.

ROI Calculations

• Assuming it takes ½ hour each day to define menu orders for each facility = 3½ hours per week of which 50% will be saved, ie 1¾ hours.• Assuming ½ hour per week of production effort is saved.• Assuming 10 Trays will be saved per week at $0.50 per tray, including labelling costs.• Assuming Servery Supervisor and labour costs $60 per hour (including WorkCover, Superannuation, Payroll Tax and general operational expenses).

Current Process Amount By Facility Equivalent Cost

Weekly Menu Ordering Labour

(½ hr x 7 days)/ 2 x $60

$ 5,460

Production Labour ½ hr x $60 $ 1,560

Trays and Labelling 10 x $0.50 $ 260

Savings Per Facility $ 7,280

By 10 Facilities $ 72,800
