Cafeteria & dining
management software
for long-term care.
My Café is mobile meal ordering, payroll deduct dining, resident meal tracking, and kitchen management for skilled nursing facilities and long-term care communities — all from the phone your staff already carry. Take the order, fire it to the kitchen, flag the allergy, and settle up by card, virtual cash, or payroll deduct, without a paper ticket in sight.
Complete SNF dining management, on one phone.
From the order on a resident's phone to the meal-tracking report at year end — one connected nursing home meal ordering system, built for the floor.
The kitchen sees the order — and the dietary restriction.
Every order lands on a live kitchen display the instant it's placed. No printer, no paper, no ticket fluttering off the rail. The resident's allergies, supplements, and dietary restrictions come with the order — right on screen, where the line cook can't miss them before the plate goes out. And because every ticket is tied to a resident, you get resident meal tracking automatically, with a permanent record of who ordered what.
- ✓ Real-time kitchen display, sorted and timed
- ✓ Allergy, supplement & dietary-restriction flags on every ticket
- ✓ Tap to mark fired, ready, or served
- ✓ Resident meal tracking with a permanent, paperless history
AI takes the order. And builds the menu.
Staff and residents order in plain language — "turkey club, gluten-free, no mayo" — and the AI assembles the ticket, applies the substitution, and flags the allergy on its own. Starting from scratch? Hand us the menus you already have. The AI reads them and auto-builds your café — items, prices, and categories — so you're live in days, not weeks.
- ✓ Conversational ordering with smart substitutions
- ✓ Auto-builds your menu from existing menus
- ✓ Catches allergy & diet conflicts as you order
- ✓ Daily specials surface automatically
Take a card. Or run it on payroll.
The employee meal ordering app accepts credit cards right at the register — and the same checkout handles virtual cash and payroll deduction, so staff pick whatever's easiest. Charges that ride on payroll roll into a clean deduct report on your pay schedule, giving you a turnkey payroll deduct meal program. Annual cost reports show exactly what the café spends and recovers across the year, so staff dining management finally pays for itself on paper.
- ✓ Accept credit cards for orders at the POS
- ✓ Virtual cash & automatic payroll deduction
- ✓ Payroll deduct report, export-ready each cycle
- ✓ Annual cost reports by item, department & month
Healthcare facility cafeteria management, end to end.
Mobile ordering, payroll deduction, resident meal tracking, kitchen display, specials, dietary notes, and meal ratings — turn on what your facility runs, the rest is waiting when you need it.
HIPAA-compliant, by design.
My Café handles resident dietary and allergy information, so it's built to the same HIPAA standard as the rest of MyLTCApps — encrypted, access-controlled, and hosted in U.S. data centers. QR-code logins keep shared screens secure without passwords on a sticky note, and every order keeps a permanent, paperless audit trail.
This is the meal ordering system on day one.
Real screens from the live app — the café menu your staff and residents open, and the order they place in seconds.
Long-term care cafeteria software FAQ
How mobile meal ordering, payroll deduction, and resident meal tracking work in a skilled nursing or long-term care setting.
How does mobile meal ordering work in a nursing home?
Residents, staff, and guests open My Café on the phone they already carry, browse the live digital menu, and place an order in seconds. The order lands instantly on the kitchen display — no paper ticket, no phone call to the kitchen. It’s a full nursing home meal ordering system that runs on existing devices, so there’s no new hardware to buy.
Can employees use payroll deduction for cafeteria meals?
Yes. My Café includes a complete payroll deduct meal program. Staff choose card, virtual cash, or payroll deduction at checkout, and every charge that rides on payroll rolls into a clean, export-ready report on your pay schedule. The employee meal ordering app and the deduct report are the same system, so there’s nothing to reconcile by hand.
Does the system track resident meal intake?
Every order is recorded against the resident who placed it, giving you resident meal tracking across the day, the week, and the year. Dietary teams can see what each resident ordered and how often, and annual cost reports break consumption down by item, department, and month.
How do dietary restrictions get handled?
Allergies, supplements, and dietary restrictions are attached to the resident and ride on every ticket. The kitchen sees them on screen — in red — before the plate goes out, and AI-assisted ordering flags conflicts as the order is built. Dietary needs are enforced by the SNF dining management workflow rather than left to memory.
Can kitchen staff see orders in real time?
Yes. Every order appears on a live kitchen display the instant it’s placed, sorted and timed. Line cooks tap to mark each ticket fired, ready, or served, and nothing is ever lost or printed. It’s the same real-time kitchen ordering system whether you run a long-term care café, a hospital cafeteria, or a staff dining room.
Will My Café work for a hospital or assisted living cafeteria too?
It will. While My Café is built for skilled nursing facilities and long-term care communities, the same healthcare facility cafeteria management tools — mobile ordering, payroll deduct, kitchen display, and resident meal tracking — work just as well as a hospital cafeteria ordering system or an assisted living dining operation.
