Dining is a key ingredient contributing to the success of senior living communities today, but we know through strong partnerships with administrators and food service managers that it takes much more than a quality menu to keep census numbers up and survey citations down. From ensuring regulatory compliance to managing spend, providing resident satisfaction and recruiting and training staff – it can all be extremely overwhelming.
At Martin Bros., we make it our top priority to listen and partner alongside our customers while identifying long-term foodservice solutions that deliver positive results. We provide Legendary Customer Service through quality, nationally branded products and custom-built tools and resources developed by our team of experts to help you position yourself as a leader in the senior living industry.
Mpower Menus
Influenced by customers and designed by registered dietitians, Mpower Menus is built based on the goals and needs of our customers: inspired dining, achieving regulatory compliance, controlling costs, and improving the health of your customers. This tool allows you to manage a unique dining program that’s adaptable to varying regulations, policies and customer dining goals.
Mpower enables you to create a customized web-based menu system, taking into account the following needs:
- Controlling Costs - Get a real-time estimated cost for meals and recipes per day and week, and scale your recipes to meet your exact needs. You may change the menu any time to take advantage of price flucuations. Daily production guides can track overproduction.
- Flexibility - Access your menus from any device with an internet connection. Change individual food items within a meal or swap out entire meals or days at any time. You may also customize the style of service, choosing from options like restaurant-style, buffet-style, open breakfast, dessert/salad carts and more.
- Resident Needs - Use the system’s nutrient profile to ensure your residents’ dietary needs are being met. When needed, you can create brand-new therapeutic diets.
- IDDSI - We are excited to offer the new International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) food and liquid consistencies, and recipes in Mpower Menus. Training tools make sure your staff is competent to prepare foods using the IDDSI Initiative.
- Guest Card Application - Mpower links to our Guest Card Application. This makes it easier to track weight, store and customize resident-specific information, and access reports like selective menus, guest cards, snack labels, diet rosters and profile reports.
- Complement with additional resources - The Mpower tools complement other Martin Bros. resources well. You can get a dietitian review of your menu for your nursing home or healthcare facility and advice for how you can improve it. You can also develop organized recipe books and make postable and table menus to market your food service program.
More than 500 users in the Midwest regularly use our Mpower Menus program, and it has proven to be highly adaptable to all of the industry’s ever-changing policies, regulations and goals. Learn more about becoming a Martin Bros. customer to take advantage of Mpower Menus in your operations!
