Casper Geriatric Center, a senior medical facility located in a large hospital in New Zealand, started a procedure where their guests receive their meals in their rooms while the food is still as hot as possible. The facility will continue to prepare the food in the commissary, but will now deliver it in bulk (not individual servings) to one of three new meal serving stations in the building. From there, the food will be reheated, meals will be placed on individual trays, loaded onto a cart, and distributed to the various floors and sections of the facility. The three new serving stations are as efficiently located. possible to reach the various hallways in the facility. The purpose of the new procedure is to increase the temperature of the hot meals that the guest receives. Therefore, the amount of time needed to deliver a tray from a serving station will determine the proper distribution of food from serving station to section.
