DiningRD's primary software product, DiningManager, is a comprehensive, web-based foodservice suite designed for senior living and long-term care communities. The platform, powered by Dietitian Intelligence™, helps food service managers, certified dietary managers, and registered dietitians streamline operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance the resident dining experience.
DiningManager is modular, consisting of three core components:
- PlateFul: The intuitive, drag-and-drop menu planning and recipe management tool. It includes a database of thousands of standardized, dietitian-approved recipes and allows for easy customization, scaling, and nutrient analysis reports for daily and weekly evaluation.
- MealCard: A system for personalized meal service that manages critical resident information, including diet orders, texture and liquid accommodations, allergies, food preferences, and dining room assignments. It is the central hub for resident-specific nutritional data.
- TableSide: A digital dining program that runs on lightweight tablets, enabling staff to take orders restaurant-style or in advance. It connects directly to MealCard data to ensure residents are offered safe choices, reducing errors and improving resident satisfaction.
Key benefits include improved regulatory compliance (CMS, state, and IDDSI guidelines) through built-in safeguards and menu validation, enhanced operational efficiency through production reporting and cost-saving tools (like VendorSync integration), and better resident care through personalized dining and seamless EMR integration (CareSync). The company also offers extensive consulting and education services, including unlimited virtual training and support from a team of Registered Dietitians and Certified Dietary Managers.

- Target Users: Food Service Managers, Certified Dietary Managers (CDM), Registered Dietitians (RD), Chefs, and Senior Living Community Team Members.
- Use Cases: Menu planning and customization, resident nutritional care management, regulatory compliance, food production and inventory control, and digital meal ordering/service.
