About
MealSuite is an all-in-one technology platform designed to help senior living and healthcare operators fully digitize their foodservice operations. Built to support a continuum of care—including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Acute Care, and Behavioral Health—MealSuite covers every step from procurement to patient table service. At its core, MealSuite manages resident and patient profiles that track dietary needs, allergens, food textures, and preferences. A database of over 9,000 dietitian-curated, HACCP-ready therapeutic recipes powers menu planning, complete with costing, forecasting, and nutritional goal alignment tools. Front-of-house operations are enhanced through TOUCH technology, including tablets for tableside and bedside ordering, self-service kiosks, and digital menu boards. Back-of-house workflows are automated via Paperless Kitchen Solutions, which display scaled recipes on Kitchen Management System (KMS) screens and handle food safety tracking with real-time alerts and reports. A fully integrated Point of Sale (POS) system and a 'Connect' interface enable seamless EHR integration with platforms like PointClickCare. The platform is HIPAA and HACCP compliant, making it suitable for regulated care environments. MealSuite is ideal for foodservice directors, registered dietitians, and healthcare administrators looking to reduce administrative labor, cut food waste, control costs, and meet stringent regulatory requirements—all within a single, unified system. It supports small to enterprise-sized facilities and is available as a subscription starting at $175/month.
