Why DietMaster is the Foodservice Management System to Choose

Usability

DietMaster raises dietary software to an entirely new level of usability. From the printed output and display screens down to the work-flow of the program, the concerns of the user have always been of first importance.
Most new users find they can start using the program without any training whatsoever (although training is available on request) because of the intuitive nature of the program.

Ready to Use

DietMaster is available to you complete with recipes, menus and nutritional data. It is ready for you to use from the moment it is installed. In just a few minutes, you can have your first week's menu ready, default values set and recipes, menus and production data ready to print.

Integration of Function

DietMaster takes a creative approach to integrating the many elements of meal planning which can make menu changes so burdensome. Changing items on a menu can be accomplished with just a few clicks of the mouse button.
For example, when you create (or change) a menu, you need only prepare the menu for the Regular diet. The menus for all other diets (and we provide 18 therapeutic diets) and textures (and we provide 9) are automatically created for you.

Technically Innovative

DietMaster is not designed to mimic existing manual, paper-oriented approaches to dietary management, but embraces existing practices while providing labor savings, improved accuracy and high quality output.
The program will allow you to dramatically streamline the planning, preparing and serving of the food, while at the same time, provide information, capabilities and quality never before possible.

Flexible and Consistant

One of the useful capabilities of the program is your ability to customize virtually anything in the program if you should so desire. You can substitute in your own meal names. You can re-name the diets to ones familiar to your staff. You can start the menu week on any day you desire. You can specify your own criteria for BMI calculations, for ideal weights, for review cycles.
You can create up to 100 different groupings of your residents. You can define your own serving units. You can add your own foods, recipes and menus. You can define your own serving locations. You can define your own production instructions. And many, many more.

Visual Appearance

To enable the user to see as much of the context as possible, a full screen is usually used. For example, the user can view an entire week's menu on one screen while still having the ability to zoom in on the particulars.
Further, to enhance the readability of all printed output, a laser or ink jet printer is always used for printing. If you choose to use a color printer, you can obtain even better appearances in your output.

Accessibility

DietMaster's functions are accessible whenever they might be useful. It should rarely be necessary to close out a current task in order to update some other related data.
DietMaster is always accessible over a local area network (LAN). Bring it up from any workstation on your network.

Ease of Entry

Most work with DietMaster can be done without any typing skills. Anyone who can use a mouse can select the functions to be performed and be immediately productive.
And, you will find DietMaster to conform to standard Windows© user practices so you do not need to learn new ways of using your computer.

Functionally Complete

DietMaster is one of the most complete dietary packages available. It addresses the whole spectrum of planning, evaluation, preparing and serving meals. Further, it has one of the most complete clinical packages which allows you to maintain virtually every aspect of resident data relevant to dietary.

Production Instructions

Particular attention has been paid to the dietary tasks which are considered a drudgery by dietary personnel. The creation, maintenance and printing of the many lists which decorate a kitchen but which are necessary for the efficient preparation and serving of meals are all taken over by the computer.
Handling of the diners' preferences, special requests, selective menu alternatives, and varying preparation quantities is done automatically. All needed recipes are automatically scaled as required. Non-food related tasks such as cleaning schedules are included.

Quality

Everything about DietMaster speaks quality while yet maintaining an affordability unmatched in other packages.
