A short guide recorded in the real app, with voice-over.
Allergy lists pinned to the kitchen wall go out of date the moment someone new arrives.
A soft & bite-sized or pureed meal relies on the right person reading the right note.
When an inspector asks how you control allergens, the answer is in people's heads.
Nuts, peanuts, milk, gluten, fish and the rest – recorded on each resident's page.
From 7 Regular to 3 Liquidised, plus vegetarian, diabetic, low salt, fortified and halal.
Every dish lists its allergens. Someone must check them against your recipe and confirm – Platewell saves who and when.
On the paper menu sheets and the staff walk-round link, a dish a resident can't have is marked not suitable.
The kitchen sheet lists the allergies to note against every dish, so the chef knows who needs what.
Each label shows the room, dish, portion, texture and allergies – clearly marked.
Short video guides inside Platewell, with subtitles in 10 languages – including Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hindi, Malayalam, Tagalog and Nepali. The allergen guide ends with three quick questions, and the owner sees who has watched and understood each guide.
No – it supports them. Your team still confirms each dish against your own recipes and suppliers' labels, and everyone stays responsible for serving the right plate to the right person. Platewell makes the checking consistent and recorded.
The IDDSI levels used in care homes: 7 Regular, 7EC Easy to chew, 6 Soft & bite-sized, 5 Minced & moist, 4 Pureed and 3 Liquidised.
