Through Cura Connect, this unique consultation service model “connects” operators to a food service network, along with a boutique of a-la-carte membership benefits that help to develop best-in-class culinary programs.

According to Gary Stizel, vice president of operations, “We are thrilled to announce our first Cura Connect contract, a modern personal care community located in Northwest of PA with accommodations for 50 residents.  Our highly experienced team of dining service management industry leaders – operators, chefs and dietitians share best practices and boost profitability for self-operated dining venues.  We understand the dining services operator barriers and competitive intensity to serve.”

Labor and supply shortages, maintaining exceptional culinary and high-quality menus, clinical acumen, staying ahead of evolving technology, and streamlining operations to leverage existing dining platforms are daily challenges.  “What pains the healthcare and hospitality industries are not going away; they are probably going to become more prevalent,” he says.
