STRATEGIES TO MANAGE A LABOUR SHORTAGE IN FOODSERVICE OPTIMIZE MENU OFFERINGS: Simplify the menu by focusing on core items that are easy to prepare and popular with residents. Reducing the complexity and variety can help streamline kitchen operations and minimize the need for specialized skills. STREAMLINE FOOD PREPARATION PROCESSES: Review and optimize food preparation processes to eliminate unnecessary steps. This might include pre-portioning ingredients, using time-saving kitchen tools, or reorganizing the kitchen layout for better efficiency. OFFER LIMITED-TIME SPECIALS: Introduce limited-time specials that are quick and easy to prepare. These specials can help manage expectations and keep the menu fresh while accommodating limited staffing. USE READY-TO-EAT PRODUCTS: Incorporate ready-to-eat products that require minimal preparation, such as pre-cooked meats, ready-made sauces, and pre-cut vegetables. These items can help maintain menu variety while reducing the workload on the kitchen staff. More detailed strategies are available on the next page. USE SIMPLIFIED COOKING METHODS: Opt for cooking methods that require less active monitoring, such as slow cooking or batch cooking. These methods can help reduce the demand on kitchen staff during peak hours.
EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE DISHWARE SOLUTIONS: Using disposable dishware and cutlery can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on dishwashing. This can be particularly useful in maintaining efficiency during peak times or when staff is limited. IMPLEMENT BULK PREPARATION: Identify opportunities for bulk preparation of menu items. For instance, preparing two days' worth of sandwiches or cooking pasta in large quantities can save time and reduce the daily workload. CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF LABOR: When kitchen staff is limited, adopt an "all hands on deck" approach by utilizing staff from other departments. Additionally, compile a contact list of local foodservice staff who can be called upon as backup. Always ensure adequate training is provided to all staff members involved. CROSS-TRAIN STAFF: Train staff to handle multiple roles within the kitchen and dining areas. Crosstraining ensures that staff can step in where needed, helping to cover gaps and maintain smooth service. LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY: Utilize technology to enhance efficiency such as automated inventory management, and kitchen display systems. These tools can reduce manual work and improve interdeparmental communication.

STRATEGIES TO MANAGE FOODSERVICE OPERATIONS DURING A NO-WATER SCENARIO Preparing for outages of water in healthcare and senior living communities is vital for safety and comfort. Here are some tips to help stay resilient during such disruptions. Please note: always refer to your home specific policies and procedures.
COMMUNICATION
HYGIENE & SANITATION
•
•
• •
Inform Residents and families about the water shortage and its implications. Keep Residents informed about changes in meal plans and availability of food. Update families about the Home's food and nutrition management during the emergency.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS • •
Ensure staff are trained on emergency protocols related to water shortages. Designate roles and responsibilities for managing water-related tasks.
EQUIPMENT- NO DISHWASHER OR RUNNING WATER • • • •
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES •
•
•
Maintain strict hygiene practices with available resources, such as using hand sanitizers and sanitizing wipes.
Have a stockpile of bottled water for drinking and essential needs. Use disposable plates, utensils, and cups to avoid washing dishes. Dispose of food waste properly to avoid contamination and pests. Arrange for alternative water sources, like bottled or bulk water deliveries.
Have an emergency water supply always available in storage. The water supply should be dated upon receipt and used and replaced on an annual basis. Stock up on shelf-stable, easy-toprepare foods and beverages for emergencies. Maintain an inventory of food supplies and regularly check expiration dates. © Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 12
MENU PLANNING AND MEAL PREPARATION • •
•
•
Use Regular menu or Emergency menu. Plan menus based on the available non-perishable and ready-to-eat foods. Opt for canned, dry, or shelf-stable foods that do not require water for preparation and only require heating, if possible. Ensure that food preparation areas are clean and free from contamination.
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS •
•
Ensure that special dietary needs are met with available resources (e.g., gluten-free, vegetarian). Communicate any changes in diet or meal plans to Residents and their families.
FOOD SAFETY •
•
Ensure all food handling and storage practices are followed to prevent contamination. Use food thermometers to ensure safe temperatures for cooked foods if cooking is possible.

SCHEDULING EMERGENCY MENUS IN SYNERGY TECH SUITE MENU OPTIONS AND USAGE GUIDELINES 7-DAY LOW LABOUR MENU • Available as a stand-alone menu within Master Menus or as individual days in Special Events Menus
3-DAY NO POWER AND NO WATER MENUS • Available as individual days within Special Events Menus. You can schedule each day as a stand-alone or consecutively.
STEPS TO CUSTOMIZE MENUS •
Find the desired menu, save a copy to My Menus, and make necessary adjustments. If no changes are needed, schedule as-is.
SCHEDULING NOTES STANDARD MENUS SCHEDULING Scheduling the Standard Emergency Menu will erase any future forecasting in your Standard Cycle Menu. Reforecasting is required once you resume the standard menu. Use this option if: • You anticipate needing the emergency menu for at least 7 days, or • Your home has not completed future forecasting that would be impacted
SPECIAL EVENTS SCHEDULING Scheduling emergency menus as Special Events will only erase forecasting for those specific days. This option is recommended for: • Emergency menu use of fewer than 7 days, • Non-consecutive days.
The Emergency Menus included in this toolkit are available with enhanced functionality in Synergy Tech Suite – Sysco Canada’s end-to-end software & hardware foodservice management solution designed for the healthcare and senior living industry.

STRATEGIES TO MANAGE FOODSERVICE OPERATIONS DURING DURING AN OUTBREAK SITUATION Outbreaks pose a serious risk in healthcare and senior living communities, where Residents are more vulnerable. Effective foodservice outbreak management can help reduce this risk, maintain safety, and ensure continuity in foodservice operations. Below are best practices and resources designed to assist teams in creating safe and responsive foodservice environments during outbreaks.
INTENSIFY SANITATION MEASURES: •
•
Increase frequency of disinfecting hightouch surfaces in kitchens, dining areas, and food delivery carts. Use approved disinfectants and ensure staff are trained on correct application.
CONDUCT DAILY HEALTH SCREENINGS: •
•
Implement daily health checks for all foodservice staff, including temperature and symptom screening. Immediately isolate any symptomatic staff and arrange for testing before they return to work.
TRANSITION TO IN-ROOM DINING: •
•
Limit or eliminate communal dining and shift to in-suite meal delivery if an outbreak is detected. Use disposable or single-use trays, utensils, and condiments to reduce contact.
SIMPLIFY MENU OFFERINGS: •
•
Develop a streamlined menu that focuses on nutrient-dense meals, which are easy to prepare and transport. Prioritize individually packaged items to minimize handling.
SET UP DESIGNATED STAFF ZONES: •
•
Create specific zones within food prep areas to reduce cross-traffic and minimize contact. Assign staff to specific zones or shifts to control exposure and prevent crosscontamination.
IMPLEMENT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) PROTOCOLS: •
•
Ensure all foodservice staff wear appropriate PPE, including masks, gloves, and hair coverings. Train staff on proper PPE usage and disposal and provide regular refreshers.
16
STRATEGIES TO MANAGE FOODSERVICE OPERATIONS DURING DURING AN OUTBREAK SITUATION ENHANCE STAFF TRAINING ON OUTBREAK PROTOCOLS:
IMPLEMENT TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION CHANNELS:
•
•
•
Conduct focused training on hygiene, cleaning protocols, and food handling to prevent contamination. Repeat training sessions regularly to reinforce practices during an outbreak.
USE SEALED AND DISPOSABLE PACKAGING: •
•
Serve food in individually sealed packaging to limit exposure and maintain hygiene standards. Consider using disposable containers and utensils to minimize handling.
•
Regularly update Residents, staff, and families on changes to foodservice, safety practices, and dining protocols. Provide contact information for questions to reassure families about their loved one’s safety.
CONTROL TRAFFIC IN FOOD PREPARATION AREAS: •
•
Limit the number of staff allowed in kitchens and food prep zones at one time to allow for physical distancing. Stagger shifts and schedules to reduce the number of people in contact at any given time.
17
STRATEGIES TO MANAGE IN SUITE SERVICE OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS & DELIVERY STRATEGIES • CHOOSE A DELIVERY METHOD: Carts, bags, trays, etc. Designate one cart for serving (ensuring food is covered during transport), and one cart for clearing to avoid cross-contamination
• ASSIGN AN AREA OF THE KITCHEN to package meals and/or assemble trays
• COMMUNICATE FOOD SERVICE CHANGES to all staff across relevant departments
• ADJUST JOB TASKS AS NEEDED and clarify staff roles & responsibilities
• IF POSSIBLE, IMPLEMENT FOOD SERVICE CHANGES ONE MEAL AT A TIME to get staff and Residents comfortable with the new mealtime routine
• ENSURE DELIVERY TIME RESPECTS LOCAL TEMPERATURE HOLDING REGULATIONS: Hot foods should be maintained at a minimum temperature of 60˚C/140˚F & cold foods should be maintained below 4˚C/40˚F
18
STRATEGIES TO MANAGE IN SUITE SERVICE ADAPTING YOUR MENU • SELECT FOODS THAT TRAVEL WELL, maintaining their look & taste 15-30 mins after plating.
Always Remember To Communicate Any Menu Changes To Residents.
• KEEP SAUCES & DRESSING ON THE SIDE to prevent soggy food.
PACKAGING SOLUTIONS • USE PRODUCTS THAT PREVENT LEAKING and spills for a more enjoyable and safer mealtime experience.
• USE APPROPRIATE PACKAGING FOR HOT AND COLD ITEMS to comply with temperature holding regulations and to maintain food quality.
• USE BIODEGRADABLE DISPOSABLES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE, including straws and utensils, to reduce environmental impact.
Check out the Appendices in this toolkit for a list of disposable products available at Sysco! 19
STRATEGIES TO MANAGE For more tips & tricks on tray presentation, IN SUITE SERVICE please contact your TRAY PRESENTATION
Sysco account representative for the Elevate the Plate Toolkit.
• OPTIMIZE TRAY PRESENTATION to make mealtime more enjoyable and encourages Residents to eat! •
Follow a TRADITIONAL PLATE PRESENTATION as much as possible
• USE COLOUR to brighten up meal presentation (coloured tray liners, plates, napkins)
• AVOID CLUTTER by limiting the number of containers on the tray & organize items neatly • USE PICTURES OR DIAGRAMS AS A GUIDE for staff for consistent tray assembly
Place PC condiments together in a container
Single use, pre-packaged beverage options may also be a possible solution for tray service.
Serve cold drinks in paper cups with lids. Serve hot drinks in insulated cups with lids. Add coffee creamers and sugar on the side. Serve soup in an insulated bowl with lid
Serve starch and protein in a 2compartment clam shell disposable food container. Serve salad in a small container.
Serve sauce in a small condiment cup.
Most Residents are right-handed; place any beverages/mugs on the upper right side of the tray.
20
STRATEGIES TO MANAGE IN SUITE SERVICE RESIDENT EXPERIENCE • ADAPT RESIDENT ROOMS to create a safe and comfortable eating space (accessible seating, tables, etc.) •
Check that EACH TRAY IS COMPLETE & SPILL-FREE before delivery
• ENSURE EACH RESIDENT RECEIVES ADEQUATE MEALTIME ASSISTANCE & SUPERVISION, especially those at risk of choking/dysphagia • SEEK FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS AND STAFF and adapt as needed

DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING This resource identifies key information when training staff from other disciplines on: ✓ Safe food handling ✓ Hand washing ✓ Temperatures – Food and equipment ✓ Food Labeling and Storage ✓ Standardized recipes and portions ✓ Cleaning and sanitation
Everyone has an important role to play in reducing foodborne illness and the spread of germs through food.
SAFE FOOD HANDLING • Safe food handling is important because we are serving a vulnerable population. • There is potential to spread illness through food. • Food borne illnesses can be dangerous and may result to hospitalization for older adults.
HAND HYGIENE HAND WASHING: • Hand washing continues to be the most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. Hand hygiene is vital to keep Residents and the whole team safe. TWO METHODS OF HAND HYGIENE: • Washing with soap & water – when hands are visibly soiled. Wash hands for at least 20 seconds and scrub all surface areas. • Sanitizing with alcohol-based hand sanitizer – when hands are free from visible soil. WHEN TO COMPLETE HAND HYGIENE AT MEALS AND SNACKS: • After using the washroom • When returning from break • After sneezing or coughing or touching your face • Before starting to serve foods • In between handling raw foods and ready to eat foods • When returning to the kitchen from the refrigerator, freezer or storeroom • In between handling clean and dirty dishes
© Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 33
DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING TEMPERATURES The danger zone is the temperature range that supports the growth of bacteria. The danger zone is between 4°C (40° F) and 60°C (140°F). Bacteria can begin to grow if food is in the danger zone for as little as 2 hours!
It is important that food maintains a safe temperature during storage, preparation, cooking, holding and re-heating.
Food must be maintained in these ranges: • Cold food is to be held at 4°C (40° F) or below • Hot food is to be held at 60°C (140°F) or above
RECORDING FOOD TEMPERATURES FOOD TEMPERATURES ARE TO BE OBTAINED AND RECORDED: • During food preparation • Before serving food at meals HOW TO TAKE FOOD TEMPERATURES: • Insert the probe thermometer into the thickest section of the food & wait 15 seconds or when the dial stops moving • Record the temperature on the sheets provided and initial • Wash, rinse and sanitize the probe thermometer after testing each item If there are foods with temperatures within the danger zone, let the Nutrition Manager know. THERMOMETER CALIBRATION • Thermometers used for food temperatures are calibrated regularly. • Discuss with the Nutrition Manager or a dietary team member if you think that the thermometers are not functioning well.
© Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 34
DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURES • It is important that temperatures of equipment that are holding foods and washing dishware and utensils are monitored regularly. • This ensures that they are functioning properly at all times. HOW TO TAKE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURES: 1. The equipment has built in thermometers for you to check. 2. Record the temperature on the sheets provided and don’t forget to initial.
Let the Nutrition Manager know if the temperatures are not according to guidelines.

DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING FOOD STORAGE AND LABELLING • COVERING FOOD: Cover or wrap all food and fluids securely to prevent cross-contamination. Food should be stored in clean containers.
Adhering to food labelling and storage guidelines will ensure food remains free of bacterial growth, is fresh & tasty, all while providing safe and palatable food to our Residents.
• LABELLING FOOD. Ensure all food is covered and labeled when storing in the refrigerator or freezer. Include the name or type of food and preparation date (day/month/year). • STORAGE. Food are be organized and used in first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. • CHECK BEST BEFORE DATES ON ALL PRODUCTS USED. Occasionally, check if refrigerated items such as condiments are expired • FREEZER STORAGE. Monitor foods which may be damaged or have freezer burn due to prolonged freezing. • DO NOT OVERLOAD: Both the fridge and freezer should not be overloaded as this can affect airflow and cause damage to the equipment. • Storage of staff’s personal foods and lunches in servery fridge and freezers are not recommended
© Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 36
DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING STANDARDIZED RECIPES AND PORTIONING • Standardized recipes ensure consistent food quality and yield, no matter who is cooking. • It ensures that meals are prepared in an organized manner using consistent ingredients, and cooking and serving directions. • Use the portioning guide when plating meals.
The therapeutic menu ensures that the correct serving sizes are provided to Residents. It is important to follow correct scoop sizes so that Residents are getting adequate nutrition at meals.
© Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 37
DIETARY CROSS TRAINING HANDOUTS FOOD HANDLING CLEANING AND SANITATION • Keep work surfaces clean and clutter-free as much as possible. Wipe down areas and properly store food items away if not being used. • Foods should not be touched with hands. Use scoops, ladles and tongs. • Don’t touch the surfaces of clean dishes, cups and utensils that come into contact with mouths or food. • If a utensil or a dish still appears dirty after washing, return to be washed again in the dishwasher. TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE SURFACES, YOU WILL NEED: • Wipe cloths or rags • Small bucket for soapy water • Small bucket sanitizing solution • Sanitizing solution mixed at the proper concentration, as per manufacturer’s direction.
Cleaning and sanitizing reduces the risk of cross-contamination, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. It also ensures that the meals we serve are wholesome and unadulterated.
Cleaning removes obvious pieces of food, dirt and stains. Sanitizing reduces the number of germs to safe levels.
STEPS TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE SURFACES: 1. Clean the surface with a wipe cloth and soapy water 2. Wipe with a wipe cloth soaked in the sanitizing solution. 3. Allow to air dry. THE CORRECT ATTIRE WHEN HANDLING AND SERVING FOOD: • Clean uniform • Clean apron • Clean hairnet or cap, and beard net if needed • Low heeled closed-toe shoes with non-slip sole • Watches and wedding rings may be worn CLEARING TABLES AND HANDLING SOILED ITEMS: • Clearing tables can be done respectfully. • Avoid picking up dishes and utensils by the eating surfaces. • Don’t clear more dishes than you can handle! STEPS TO CLEARING TABLES: 1. Remove soiled items from the table and bring them to the busing area. 2. Scrape leftover food off of plates and pour out liquids in designated bin. 3. Pre-soak utensils in designated cleaning solution. © Seasons Care Dietitian Network 2024 38
