Saffron Patient Ordering - Finally a Tablet every Patient is pleased to see!
FDHospitality defines the future of patient ordering with the launch of a unique bedside ordering solution using any Windows compatible tablet PC that replaces the many thousand menu cards that are issued to patients on a daily basis. This interactive device addresses one of the main findings of the recent government report stating that there is no interaction with patients and enables support staff to “take the order” from patients with supporting information on available menus with integral monitoring of choices to manage allergies and restricted diets.
All patient orders are automatically consolidated and imported into Saffron enhancing production planning from order requirements, stores issues through to kitchen production with the additional benefits achieved through the saving of administration time and costs.

Saffron Xpress – customer self- ordering software

Benefits include:
- Increased sales and speedier service
- Enhanced customer experience
- Greater up-selling opportunities as customers are more likely to make spontaneous purchase as they build their order.
