Have you ever followed a fork through a kitchen? Ralph Peterson has, and his findings are surprising. On average, a fork is touched 16 times throughout the day, and only three of those times are when the resident is using it. In this dynamic and insightful workshop, Ralph breaks down all the processes in a kitchen - revealing secrets on how to eliminate waste, increase consistency, and create a culture of excellence. The focus of this workshop is on transforming dietary services from a routine necessity into a thriving, efficient (business) operation.

OBJECTIVES:

• Redefine Kitchen Efficiency: Learn how to track and optimize every aspect of kitchen operations, from utensil usage to meal preparation.
• Cultivate Consistency and Quality: Understand the art of maintaining high standards in meal preparation and delivering, ensuring a pleasurable dining experience for seniors.
• Build a Positive Culture: Discover strategies to foster a culture of excellence among staff, enhancing overall productivity and morale.

AUDIENCE: This workshop is designed for professionals in senior care centers, dietary managers, cooks, healthcare administrators, directors of nursing, and entrepreneurs interested in the senior care industry. This workshop is unique, as one registration covers your whole building! Bring your administrator, DON, dietary staff, and anyone in your building who would benefit from this training.
