Innovating with Technology Mary Sell, MPA, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Menu Services Manager

D

ining managers are now using more digital tools than ever to sharpen their focus while increasing efficiency and accuracy and offering more perks in their dining operations. Foodservice inventory tracking, forecasting and budgeting are now tasks that have many automated steps that used to take us hours or even days to complete each month. We now have access to information and tools that were more cumbersome to obtain in the past. The resources that we have at our fingertips today and that will be coming in the future will continue to help make operating a foodservice operation and serving seniors a more and more customizable and accurate process.

Many dining managers are now using online menu programs. Martin Bros.’ Mpower Menus program, for example, automates the process of creating and analyzing therapeutic diets and menus. Guest card programs can easily keep track of individual resident dietary needs and preferences and alert users of significant changes in weight.

In addition, the Martin Bros. menu program makes the ordering process easy, accurate and seamless. For example, a food order can seamlessly be placed even if the person who normally places the order is gone.

In addition to the advances that we have with menu program technologies, changing consumer expectations will drive our industry to take advantage of more and more technological advances in the future.

Tabletop touchscreen devices at restaurants, for example, are allowing consumers to order and pay at their leisure when dining out. Soon, our seniors will expect these conveniences in their senior living communities.

IMPACT FINANCIAL GOALS

IMPROVE NUTRITION OF CLIENTELE

As another example, many people now look for dining information online and in restaurants such as how a product is prepared, its nutrition content and allergens, if the product was sourced locally, what the protein origin is and if it is organic or gluten free. Seniors and their families will be starting to challenge their communities to provide this same information.

We will all continue to do more communicating into the future, including with seniors and their families, using social media and apps. Someday soon, our seniors will look to make online reservations, receive notification by text when their table is ready and receive information about the daily specials or order food for delivery on their smart devices.

As for in the kitchen, some communities are already using Bluetooth temperature monitoring sensors to measure food temperatures and wirelessly record readings in a HACCP log.

Managers can program alerts if any temperatures are beyond the acceptable limits.

In the kitchen and beyond, artificial intelligence will soon be tracking complex facets of tasks and projects to identify inefficiencies, implement changes automatically to increase efficiencies, evaluate performance and quantify outcomes.

Not to mention that training new dietary employees will likely be done in the future with virtual reality onboarding using a headset and customized software.

Technology has become key to success. Simply having good food will not be enough as we look for ways to increase efficiencies and implement on-trend technologies in food service operations. Overall, the ability of senior living communities to innovate with technology will determine their future and separate the good from the exceptional in the coming years.

The Importance of Protein as We Age Kyndra Hamblin, RD, LD Martin Bros. Missouri Marketing Dietitian

P

rotein plays a key role in our overall health and wellbeing. Protein has a role in delivering oxygen to tissues, boosting immunity, aiding in satiety (feeling full), brain function and development, assisting in metabolism and helping to build stronger bones. However, its most imperative role is in building, maintaining and repairing muscles.

Protein’s role is just as if not more important as we age.

Adequate protein intake is necessary to prevent sarcopenia (the loss of muscle mass and strength), which can be prominent in our elderly population.

It was once thought that an excess in protein was detrimental to the body, especially as we age. Recent studies have shown no evidence to link higher protein diets to renal disease (decrease in kidney function) or adverse bone health.

(Bauer, et al. 2013 Evidence-based recommendations for optimal dietary protein intake in older people. JAMDA 14(8): 542-559) However, significant studies have shown a link that increasing protein intake from a minimal recommended daily allowance

(RDA) to an optimal intake can preserve muscles mass and strength as we age.

The current RDA for protein intake is 0.8 gm/ kg of body weight or approximately 56 grams per day for a 154-pound person. The optimal intake goes up to at least 1.2 gm/kg, which would mean an increased recommendation to 84 grams of protein per day. (Houston et al, 2008 Dietary protein intake is associated with lean mass change in community -dwelling adults. Am J Clin Nutr. 87(1): 150-155) Further studies have shown that spreading protein consumption evenly throughout the day increases protein absorption by the body. (PaddonJones and Rasmussen 2009 Dietary protein recommendations and the prevention of sarcopenia. PMID 286(3): E321-E328) Therefore, in this example, someone consuming 84 grams of protein per day would benefit the most if they spread their protein intake evenly to at least 28 grams of protein per meal.

HOW DO WE EQUATE THIS IN OUR DAILY MEALS? It is actually pretty easy to get about 28 grams of protein at each meal. Below are a few Martin Bros. Mpower Menus recipes and how many grams of protein they each have. Please note that these are not well-balanced meals but just examples of how you can evenly spread protein throughout the day.

BREAKFAST Breakfast Casserole (MB Recipe #18388) Cottage Cheese & Fruit (MB Recipe #1159) Milk – 8 oz Total Breakfast Protein

18 grams protein 7 grams protein 8 grams protein 32 grams

LUNCH Cran-Apple Turkey Melt (MB Recipe #3079) Baked Beans (MB Recipe #18111) Total Lunch Protein

20 grams protein 7 grams protein 27 grams

DINNER Cheddar Crumb Pollock (MB Recipe #431) Pea Salad (MB recipe #18113) Total Dinner Protein

20 grams protein 9 grams protein 29 grams

In conclusion, increasing protein intake and spreading it evenly throughout each day using a variety of recipes and menu staples may be a great way to make sure that protein plays its role in the overall health and well-being of our seniors.

Food Allergies & Preventing Cross Contamination Renee Greiner, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Menu Systems Advisor & School Specialist

ood safety when dealing with food allergies as well as preventing cross contamination is an important awareness aspect for the food service system from farm to fork – for schools included.

Food allergies have grown in prevalence in the past 20 years, with approximately 15 million Americans now having some type of food allergy. Of this amount, 5.9 million are children under 18, which is approximately 1 in 13 kids…or 2 per classroom.

Approximately 170 foods can cause allergic reactions. Among these, the “Big 8” include milk, egg, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, wheat and soy, which are all required to be listed on food labels..

Cross contamination – where pathogens could move between surfaces – is a risk factor that is preventable as it relates to food safety and allergic reaction prevention.

Here are some tips to help prevent cross contamination while dealing with food allergies in your food service operation: 1. Separate Work Area: If possible, dedicate a separate work area for allergen-free items.

2. Handwashing & Gloves: Good handwashing practices, using gloves where appropriate and changing gloves as needed are all important. Conduct annual handwashing and gloving in-services to refresh staff skills.

3. Task Assignments: Have one person or position dedicated to preparing items for allergen-specific students.

4. Separate Equipment: Items such as cutting boards with different colors or separate toasters can be dedicated to separate jobs and items to help minimize the risk of cross contamination. Keep raw items separate from ready-to-eat items and also keep items with potential allergens separate from non-allergen items. In addition, an allergen kit can be used for allergen-free items. (Purple has been a color dedicated to allergies.)

5. Cleaning Schedule: Implementing a good cleaning schedule for daily, weekly and monthly cleaning will help divide tasks and minimize the risk of cross contamination.

PURPLE SOLUTIONS FOR FOOD SAFETY Help prevent cross contamination when dealing with food allergies. Purple is the color designated to color code and alert kitchen staff to follow special food allergen prep procedures.

INFECTION PREVENTION Cleaning Protocols to Help Prevent the Spread of Illness-Causing Germs Roxanne Hassman Martin Bros. Janitorial & Disposables Category Marketing Manager It’s the time of year when illnesses that are more prevalent in the fall and winter, such as the flu, come to a peak. Therefore, to help keep your employees and customers healthy, it’s important to make sure you’re following the proper infection prevention cleaning procedures.

Make sure you’re cleaning both hard and soft surfaces. Hard surfaces such as light switches, door handles, railings, chairs, tables and faucets are prime areas for germs to hide. In addition, microorganisms can live on soft surfaces, too. Therefore, adding a routine to address soft surfaces such as couches, cushions and mouse pads may also help reduce the transmission of infections.

FOR HARD SURFACES: 1. Clean off any excess dirt.

2. Thoroughly wet surface by using a disinfecting wipe or disinfecting solution in a spray bottle.

3. Allow disinfectant to contact surface for minimum contact time. (Read label for proper contact time.)

4. Rinse if necessary.

For soft surfaces, routinely launder curtains, linens, employee uniforms and other soft surfaces in your facility. In addition, use an EPA-registered product to kill bacteria on soft surfaces between launderings and on soft surfaces that cannot be laundered.

Here are some disinfectants available along with some of their kill claims and contact times required: Influenza A

Keys to Caring for Your Knives into the New Year & Beyond Knives are an investment meant to last for generations of use.

Properly caring for your knives is important to their longevity. Here are some keys:

Julie Coen Martin Bros. Equipment & Supply Category Marketing Manager

1 2 3 4 5

Cutlery should be hand washed in mild- to medium-strength detergent and towel dried.

Knives should not be placed in automatic dishwashers. The blade edges will be dulled from rubbing against each other, and caustic detergents will cause staining and pitting of the blade. For wood-handled products, heat and detergents cause the natural oils and pigments to be drawn out of the wood, resulting in the handle fading and splitting.

FEATURED KNIVES

Cutlery should never be soaked for long periods or submerged for cleaning. If you must soak cutlery in soap, bleach or chlorine, soaking should be kept to a minimum and the products should be rinsed thoroughly and dried immediately.

Sani-Safe®

Knives made of carbon steel should be washed and dried immediately after use to prevent rusting.

• Stain-free, high-carbon steel blade with an individually ground and honed edge excels in commercial use.

Only frequent and prompt cleaning of cutlery after each use with non-caustic solutions and prompt towel drying will ensure the lasting performance and beauty of knives.

• Built to be both tough and sanitary.

• Textured, slip-resistant, easy-to-clean polypropylene handle withstands both high and low temperatures.

• Impervious blade-to-handle seal.

• Made in USA. • Some availability in HACCP colors to aid with food safety.

Peladow™ Calcium Chloride (017030 – 1/50 lb) Works fast because it attracts moisture from its surroundings and quickly turns into a solution. Melts to -25°F.

NEUTRALIZERS/CONDITIONERS Back to 7 Carpet & Hard Floor Conditioner

(012810 – 1/1 gal)

Neutralizes and conditions carpet harmed by shampoo or hard water residues. Eliminates carpet browning or yellow discoloration.

Removes de-icing salt residue found on carpet or hard surface floors during winter months.

Easy Paks® Neutralizer/Conditioner (011070 – 180/.5 oz) Concentrated powdered compound quickly dissolves in water to produce a cleaning dilution that can be varied to meet your needs. Neutralizes alkaline residue after floor stripping and cleaning. Removes ice melt residue. Helps eliminate dulling, discoloring and hazing for a longer-lasting, brighter finish. Conditions floors for better sealing. Also works as a odor neutralizer on restroom floors and showers.

Should space be limited and a 3-mat system will not fit, the best overall performance choice is a Scraper/Wiper Mat. Have a Martin Bros. janitorial specialist analyze your specific needs to provide you with the best matting options.
