“You don’t have the manpower to run a fully-fledged food-service-system!”
For Critical Access Hospitals, manpower is at a premium. You need to make do with what you have, while still being compared to the quality and service of any other hospital, no matter how big or small. Most likely, you do not have spare FTEs to manage/support a fully-fledged food service software application, which can set you back when wanting the best for your patients.
Enter: Stella
Stella’s Critical Access Hospital Food Service Solution (CAHFSS) has been specifically designed for Critical Access Hospitals like yours!
✓ No coding Allergens or Diet Info
✓ No manual input
✓ No administrative work
Stella’s CAHFSS Packages are easy to set-up and do not require any software installation.
Stella provides you with a complete, vast, and instantly usable set of recipes and menus that are fully coded with respect to diet & allergen compliances, along with included Nutritional information, all in line with the Nutritional Care Manual. No need for manual input!
