MealSuite

A tough truth we’re facing in senior living… According to a recent MealSuite study, an average of 1.5 lbs of food is wasted per resident, per day in senior living communities. That’s a lot. And when you think about the continuing rise of food cost and tighter budgets, it’s not just an environmental issue, it’s a financial one too. The encouraging part? There are ways we can do better. At MealSuite, we’re working with communities to tackle this challenge head-on. By using smarter systems, we’re helping teams connect menus with suppliers to streamline ordering, reduce overproduction, and make bulk purchasing easier. Our tools also help standardize recipes and portion sizes so that every plate served is intentional and nothing goes to waste. Let's make a difference, one meal at a time. 😊
