Key values of CIRFOOD hospital catering

High-quality hospital and social or healthcare catering goes beyond mere management of the kitchen or canteen because it helps to:

• Foster the conditions that give rise to well-being among those we serve, becoming a part of their treatment regimens;
• Make individuals and their specific nutritional needs the focus of the service;
• Guarantee appropriate nutrition, with respect for cultural traditions and the sensory qualities of the food prepared;
• Promote information and awareness campaigns to encourage a correct approach to dietary habits.

What we offer and our skills

• The right solution for every need: we offer tailor-made solutions for the various kinds of users in the facilities, in order to promote patient rehabilitation processes. From hospital catering for long and short stays (adult and paediatric age), to catering for Residential Care Facilities (RSA), through to canteens for hospital staff, not to mention consultancy for patient and guest catering services. We also manage the catering facilities for employees, visitors and meals delivered to homes. We work with our customers to find the perfect solution for every need.
• Consultancy planning implementation: CIRFOOD is more than just a supplier; it is also as a trusted partner of the entire organisation. Thanks to our experience, acquired in hundreds of healthcare and hospital services, we can work with customers to design catering services that are tailored to their requirements. Tailor-made solutions that not only guarantee healthy and balanced meals, but also modern, accessible and safe dining areas.
• Our quality, your safety: we believe and invest in the quality of our catering model. We test and certify every single work step, and have structured a system of additional voluntary certifications to guarantee the highest food safety standards. This means we can help customers achieve the highest national and international safety and sustainability standards, such as the Joint Commission International (JCI).
• Innovative solutions at your service: at CIRFOOD, experience meets the efficiency of new technologies, profoundly impacting the quality of the service we provide. Our expertise in traditional fresh-to-hot services is now complemented by cutting-edge production methods such as ‘Cook and Chill’, while our purpose-built digital tools, which can be accessed via PC and mobile, give staff and patients insight into the supply chain, promoting nutritional education and providing advanced meal booking options. We have also designed and implemented a unique, innovative and certified project to ensure healthy, tasty and balanced meals for dysphagic patients.
