We’re excited to share that DiningRD has once again been named to the Inc. 5000, marking our fourth consecutive year among America’s fastest-growing private companies. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
For DiningRD, this recognition is especially meaningful because our growth has happened alongside tremendous change in senior living dining. Over the past several years, we’ve expanded our technology, consulting, and education solutions while continuing to invest in the people and expertise behind them.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the fourth consecutive year is an incredible honor and a reflection of the people behind DiningRD,” said Carol Sapp, CEO of DiningRD. “Our growth has always been driven by a simple goal: helping senior living communities provide better dining experiences through the right combination of technology, dietitian expertise, and exceptional service. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more excited about what we’re building for the future.”
Growing Alongside Senior Living
For more than 30 years, DiningRD has worked alongside senior living organizations to help navigate the clinical and operational complexities of dining.
Today, that means bringing together our DiningManager technology, consulting services, education, and nationwide network of Registered Dietitians and dining professionals to help communities simplify operations and improve the resident experience.
As the needs of senior living continue to evolve, so do our solutions. From menu planning and resident dietary management to digital dining, integrations, purchasing tools, and intelligent solutions, we continue to look for new ways to make the work of senior living dining teams easier and better—while keeping dietitian expertise at the center.
And through all that growth and innovation, our purpose remains the same: nurturing joy through food.
