Read DiningRD's Assisted and Independent Living Case Study with StoryPoint

"We have grown both as a company and nutrition department over the last 3 years. DiningRD has worked with us along the way to finding solutions to our individual needs including our menu process and recipe organization, trainings, compliance with regulations, elevating our dining experience with TableSide and providing consultant dietitians in all of our licensed neighborhoods in every state."

Krista Zvoch, RDN, Director of Nutrition, StoryPoint

"I certainly have experienced time savings. As the Director of Nutrition, I can now focus on the creation and implementation of resident focused nutrition programs, trainings and the creation of menu cycles that are easily shared with all of our chefs."

Krista Zvoch, RDN, Director of Nutrition, StoryPoint

"We like that while our chefs are creating a menu, they have access to both DiningManager’s large database of recipes as well as our own StoryPoint Group recipe folders with modified texture diet extensions, nutrition and cost analysis attached all in one place. Prior to using DiningManager, our recipes were kept in a different software and we could not attached modified texture diet extensions to those recipes. We are very happy with the fact that DiningRD will allow us to create our own recipe organization system as well."
