Restaurants and Cafes

With today’s society becoming increasingly health focused, and more that 80% of younger women looking at controlling their weight, it would make good business and community sense to offer some food that will allow your customers to meet their dietary requirements while eating your fantastic tasting food.

We at Health Management Dietetics enjoy food — and believe that you can eat healthily at almost any restaurant. If you own or manage a restaurant you can be assured that we can work with you and your chef in analysing your current menu to show you and your staff how your customers can eat well. We can develop ready reckoners so your patrons know what choices meet their dietary requirements with as little fuss as possible to the chef and staff.

In this health focussed society, the results of our services can be a powerful marketing tool and we can assist you in developing nutrition marketing and PR plans to ensure the message that you allow your customers to choose gets out there.

Schools

Health Management has worked with a number of schools to review their tuckshop menu and incorporate current nutrition into primary school nutrition. Our dietitians regularly speak to school students on a number of nutrition related topics.
