Shodair Hospital wanted to overcome the stigma of hospital food, which is often considered subpar or unappetizing. Their cafeteria previously experienced low traffic from both employees and visitors due to inconsistent food quality. With the help of Thomas Cuisine, Shodair Hospital looked to transform the perception of hospital food by providing high-quality, nutritious meals for their patients, staff, and visitors.
Their main challenges before partnering with Thomas Cuisine included:
Improve food quality and consistency
Increase cafeteria traffic and engagement
Create a positive dining experience that reflects the hospital’s values
“It’s always about the relationship, right? And I will tell you without question that every person I have met at Thomas Cuisine has been exceptional! I think there’s a myth in the world that hospital food is crappy; but Thomas Cuisine has shined a whole new light and meaning on food, and food in a healthcare setting. They have brought their expertise and service to the table to make it the best it can be.”
– Craig Aasved, CEO and President, Shodair Hospital
