Easy, intuitive and very automatic.
Coquus customizes your menus: the revolution of automatic substitutions
Eliminate thousands of hours of administrative work so you can focus on what’s most important.
Adapting your menus to the various characteristics of your diners (allergies, tastes, observations…) is a task that consumes many hours and introduces the human factor in a critical process for patient safety. Coquus performs these substitutions automatically. Your nutrition team defines the criteria, Coquus automatically learns from their decisions and this process becomes automatic, multiplying safety, improving customization and eliminating thousands of hours of administrative work.
Specific benefits for your daily life
Improve patient safety
Dietitians or cooks in communities make hundreds of decisions every day, introducing the risk of human error where technology is infallible. Coquus automates these decisions by putting your organization’s knowledge in your tool, not people, so that all adjustments follow your rules and are always done the same way, without error and regardless of who is in the kitchen today.
Improve the patient experience
There are two key factors in the patient experience. The first is to customize the menu to their preferences, beyond allergens. Coquus automates the customization, multiplying the use of preferences without increasing the workload of the dietitian or the kitchen. The second is to give the patient direct access to his/her menu so that he/she can choose what he/she likes best or avoid what he/she does not eat. The patient becomes more involved in his/her diet and increases his/her satisfaction, which improves the final objective: better nourished patients.
Reduces waste and costs
Accurate management of requirements, production and consumption history, automation of food intake blocks (planned operations, ECOs, TACs…), etc. eliminates the direct waste of thousands of trays and adapts the entire feeding process to reduce costs without compromising quality. In such an information-intensive process, Coquus automation is an immediate efficiency gain.
Eliminates thousands of hours of administrative work
Many of the tasks performed in your kitchen are repetitive. Dietitians read, interpret, choose, act, and reflect these decisions in your systems to maintain patient traceability. Coquus performs all of these tasks automatically, freeing up thousands of hours that you can spend on the many more value-added tasks to fight malnutrition and make your foodservice excellent.
Comprehensive management control
In Coquus, everything is recorded: who requested a change, who accepted or postponed it, at what time, if it involved the manufacture of a new tray, etc. etc. And all these changes are linked to specific patients, not beds, generating a single, shared report for both the hospital and its kitchen or concessionaire, allowing total management control and total transparency.
What they think of Coquus
We had the strategic project of digitizing the nutrition and dietetics service and Coquus has been the best partner we could have chosen. It is an intuitive and very complete tool, in addition, its team of professionals adapts to any extra need that arises during the implementation of the solution
The nursing staff found an ally in Coquus to manage food, facilitating automated communication with the kitchen service (simplification of tasks) facilitating the patient’s autonomy in choosing the menu safely (intolerances and allergies). It shortened the response times to diet changes and helped patient experience by attending to the tastes and preferences of the patient. In addition, the migration to Coquus was fluid and almost transparent for the nursing staff (minimum training time and minimal incidents)
We had the challenge of organizing the diets of different hospitals, with different kitchens, in different provinces and with a very versatile menu selection whilst providing excellent Patient Experience. Coquus has been an essential ally in achieving this
Coquus works by itself. With a good structure of diets and the self-learning of the tool, in a short time you get a highly automated and very safe system for the patient
Coquus has allowed us to carry out the systematization of processes in various hospitals, drawing a fluid and secure line of communication between the kitchen service and the ward, unifying dietary criteria, and guaranteeing food safety. In addition, this tool allows the patient to have a voice in terms of tastes and incompatibilities, which has an impact on the level of excellence of the service across the centres.
