Our servers celebrate our residents’ birthdays, know how they take their coffee and when their favorite dish is being served. And, some residents even give our culinarians their favorite recipes to prepare! Chef-Driven, Restaurant-Like Experiences Whether it’s the 5 o’clock drink with a friend, a terrace with a grill in the summer, or a diner decorated from the 60’s, your residents and families can relax in an atmosphere just as they would in a neighborhood restaurant or local cafe. Technology-Driven We bring a complete suite of technologies to our dining solutions that cover everything from POS and accounting to training and people management.
