Net Menu connects clinical diet management, patient meal ordering, menu planning, food production, procurement, and inventory, to support safer meals and more efficient operations. Information flows where it's needed and routine work is automated, so your team can focus on care, service, and expertise instead of manual rework. Here's how each piece works together.
Illumia connects the people, processes, and data behind every meal within a single, cloud-based platform. This unified approach helps healthcare facilities ensure patient safety while operating more efficiently with fewer resources.
NetMenu supports unlimited special diets and combinations across all meal-ordering work flows so patients are only offered menu items that match their current diet order. Allergens and modified-texture diets, including IDDSI levels, are managed centrally and enforced automatically so a diet restriction doesn’t slip through.
Patients can order in the way that works best for them including through a bedside room device, the Illumia Patient App, the diet office, or integrated EHR experiences such as Epic MyChart ® and MyChart® bedside. Visitors and family members can order and pay for their own meals directly in the Patient App so they can eat bedside with their loved ones.
NetMenu can generate purchase orders based on forecasted menu needs, par levels, or ordering templates and help teams select vendor items based on contract pricing and compliance rules. Electronic receiving automatically updates inventory balances while mobile tools support physical and perpetual inventory counts, including offline counting in areas with limited connectivity. Floor stock and pantry inventory can be managed in place through the same workflows.
NetMenu Production Planning uses menu and forecast data to scale recipes and generate production sheets, pull lists, and prep lists, helping kitchens streamline work, control costs, and make better use of inventory. Post-service analysis closes the loop and compares what was produced versus what was consumed, giving managers the insights to refine forecasts and reduce waste over time.
NetMenu Tray Assembly and Delivery tracks every order from placement through delivery with color-coding, timer countdowns, and alerts to keep production on schedule, while mobile intake tracking at tray collection flags patients at malnutrition risk for clinical follow-up.
