Culinary Conversations: Healthcare and Senior Dining.

August 25, 2022 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Culinary team members of today’s healthcare and senior dining foodservice programs face many challenges in their work. Patients and residents have discerning palates that necessitate creativity with seasonal menus and pop-up dining concepts, while staff still need to be able to provide appealing food for those with special dietary needs.

Join our Culinary team for a live cooking demonstration featuring recipes designed for senior dining foodservice programs and prepared in the iCombi Pro and iVario Pro.

The RATIONAL culinary team will prepare many favorites and innovative menu items right before your eyes. Using intelligent cooking, they'll demonstrate live how intelligent kitchen equipment changes your approach to cooking and kitchen management while allowing you to:

  • Elevate your foodservice program
  • Make your kitchen more efficient
  • Create consistent and delicious meals

Whether you're a chef, foodservice director, nutritionist or other key decision-maker, you'll be sure to walk away with an understanding of how cooking with technology can help you elevate your foodservice program.
