CarteChoix apetito's new plated meal food range

31 Jan, 2012

Hospitals are under increasing pressure to run a cost-effective catering service while serving food that satisfies patient demand for quality, flexibility and choice.

Help is at hand.  Here at apetito, we've been working hard on a new plated meals system, called CarteChoix, which is designed specifically for acute hospital settings which serves pre-prepared patient meals on a warm china plate, an industry-first.

The simple-to-operate system delivers consistent quality results, and alleviates the need for complex menu collation, and the picking and packing associated with a bulk system. So, not only do meals arrive with the patient piping hot and perfectly presented every time, but the system delivers significant labour savings too.

Meals balls with pastaOn wards with a high patient turnaround, such as Maternity and Admissions, the short time from order to service enables wastage to be kept to a minimum.

Unlike similar systems on the market, CarteChoix meals are served on china plates. Not only does this increase the appeal of the food but the system has been specifically designed to conduct and distribute heat evenly for optimum cooking results, and with a barcode system on the reverse of each meal, there’s no room for error.  View our step-by-step guide to see how easy it is.
