FAQ

We transform the way your kitchen manages texture modified meals.

One of the key time savings for commercial kitchens is the significant reduction in labour. Key labour savings include:

• Reduced preparation time – cutting, washing, mixing, preparing to cook and time spent monitoring cooking, flavouring and texture modifying.
• Eliminate inconsistent and diluted recipes – we take care of the recipes and produce the food according to our recipes
• You bear no HACCP risks – all the risk associated with cooking and blending is taken on by us.

Today with all the IDDSI textures, kitchens are asked to provide three different texture modified foods which can be labour intensive and hard to get it right all of the time.

One of the key money savings for commercial kitchens is the reduction in food wastage. Key financial savings include:

• Meal waste reduction – 15% on average for TCF meals compared to 32.5% on average for scoop-style meals
• Supplement reduction – less supplements are required with our highly nutritious food.

A well-designed menu has choice, variety and colour. When designing a menu for texture modified diets, choice and variety are often forgotten – colours tend to be brown, white, orange and green and there’s a tendency to have only one choice available.

TCF protein products are designed to canvass your flavours to match the main menu. You can use a sauce that matches your standard menu or use one of our specialty made sauces.

We also offer an extensive range of vegetables and vegetarian options.

And don’t forget about our desserts! Garnish with cream, custard, coulis or yoghurt. Diners enjoy having more than custard, yoghurt, fruit puree, mousse and panna cotta for dessert.

It’s super easy to supplement an alternative from our product range. We can provide additional services to help you customise your menu. Have a chat with our dietitian for more information – Lisa@texturedconceptfoods.com.au
