Satelliting
Cook-chill production systems are the perfect choice for facilities that are required to
send food to other facilities. The ability to satellite food, and so to consolidate food
production and labor costs into one facility, may be a deciding factor in whether to venture
into cook-chill production.
Bulk food prepared at a central kitchen can be held in a food bank and sent to
outlying facilities as required in bulk. At each satellite facility, bulk food can then be used
for patient trays and/or cafeteria service.
Another alternative is to send some bulk food to satellite facilities for cafeteria use
and assemble all trays for patients at the central facility, thus consolidating tray assembly and
trayline cold production labor. Dinex has one tray style that can be used to satellite
assembled trays to other facilities: the Classic II with Full cover.
