Getting Started with Foodservice Management Technology Doesn’t Have to be Scary

6 Onboarding Myths, Debunked!

20 NOURISHING NEWS

Legends and spooky tales may be fun around the campfire, but when everyday misconceptions or “myths” get in the way of foodservice teams giving time-and-stress-saving technology a chance, we’re here to set the record straight!

Here are the six most common myths we hear from healthcare and senior living industry leaders when it comes to onboarding foodservice management software (and why you shouldn’t let them hold you back from reaping the benefits of technology).

SYNERGY TECH SUITE

“I Can’t Spare the Time”

There’s no doubt that your team’s schedules are already packed to the brim, leaving you thinking: “there’s no way we can spare time to learn something new.”

However, you’ll find relief in knowing that any good dietary software company will have a Project Management team that works closely alongside you, every step of the onboarding process, including training, to design an implementation plan that fits into your overall operations.

“Right Now My Main Priority is Staffing”

If you’re currently experiencing staffing shortages, you’re certainly not alone. And while you may be thinking that “I can’t focus on technology when I’m trying to attract and retain staff” – we’re happy to tell you that a major benefit to the right foodservice system is the time savings. Automated processes help free up your schedule so you can focus on staff recruitment efforts such as interviews and onboarding. Plus – having an innovative system in place may even help you stand out to prospective staff members.

“I Don’t Think My Team Will Adapt to New Technology”

With an entire team of differing experience levels to bring up to speed – how can they all possibly be trained effectively?

Know that the best foodservice management software is designed with an easy to use interface to accommodate employees of any experience level and comes backed with a team of experienced trainers who are there for your staff every step of the way.

Chances are these trainers work with individuals who are uncomfortable with new technology all the time and can ultimately get them feeling confident working with the software.

“It’s Our of My Budget”

We hear this a lot from industry professionals who see the benefits of foodservice management software but have a preconceived notion that it’s out of their reach.

It’s important to consider how much you’re going to save over time. Because foodservice software is designed to enhance the entire operation, everything from time saved time to reducing food waste to displaying show plates on tablets help save significant dollars. And if used properly, often offsets the cost of the program in its entirety!

“I Don’t Have the Right Environment to Support Technology”

Are you wondering if you have the right hardware, setup or connection to support a resident dietary system?

Reliable foodservice management software suppliers understand there are multiple pillars to a successful system deployment, and will provide a hardware assessment to determine if your existing environment will be able to support the additional load. This includes Network – the main line of communication which should be involved in discussions leading up to onboarding a software.

Programs like Synergy Tech Suite require very minimum download and upload speed so it’s likely your facility is already able to support the software!

“Now’s Not the Right Time”

After the unforeseen circumstances of the pandemic, communities are continuing to be proactive in their approach to resident health and safety. Implementing foodservice management systems is the best method for managing your food service operation in the case of an outbreak. Even at times where residents aren’t eating in the dining rooms, the software becomes crucial in making sure everyone’s orders are taken, and they’re served a meal that’s safe and enjoyable for them every time.

Now that these common onboarding myths have been debunked – we hope you feel comfortable taking the next steps toward allowing foodservice management software to benefit your community! Get in touch with one of our Synergy Technology Experts, and we’ll help make your transition easy (and well worth it).

We say, there’s no better time than the present to take action on your foodservice emergency preparedness!
