Speed in the Kitchen: The New Menu Builder

“Menu Builder is easy to navigate and intuitive to use. It is a game changer in terms of how I build my menus.”

Get a Running Start: AI Recipes
In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, our new AI recipes feature in Performance Kitchen can generate a detailed recipe with nutrition information, ingredients, and directions. Simply enter a recipe description and desired yield! From there, you can edit the recipe to make it your own and ensure it suits the needs of your athletes.
“The term ‘Shock & Awe’ hardly does it justice. Although AI occasionally produces less-than-perfect results, the potential utility is astonishing. It’s one of the most thrilling applications of specialized AI I’ve encountered, and I’m excited about the future R&D opportunities using this remarkable tool.”
– Steve Chambers, Director of Team Food & Beverage, Atlanta Falcons | Atlanta United FC
More Accountability & Insight: Meal Check-In
With Nutrition’s new Meal Check-Ins, teams with Performance Kitchen and Hub can better track and report on who attends meals and tie it to the specific menu. Meal Check-Ins allow athletes to check into meals using the Teamworks App by scanning a QR code.
- Coaches and staff have better visibility into required meal attendance to hold athletes accountable.
- Dietitians gain insight into exactly where and when an athlete is taking meals at the facility – valuable context to inform personalized support.
- The entire nutrition staff can better understand utilization trends, such as which locations or meals get the most traffic, to optimize their investment in food services.
Engage Athletes: Goal Tracking
Dietitians will soon have a new tool to engage athletes and help them build healthy habits to power their performance. With our Goal Tracking feature, dietitians can set personalized goals tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of each athlete, including optimizing pre- and post-fueling strategies, setting reminders for meals or supplements, or assigning incremental fluid goals for hydration needs. Goal Tracking allows athletes to view progress, receive reminders, check off tasks, and build a routine of success. Stay tuned for this new feature in an upcoming release.
