Food Service Worker

What you'll be doing: Food service workers select and place food items on patient trays as they proceed down the tray assembly line according to a regular or modified menu, individual diet cards, or patient selections. They can identify obvious discrepancies between the prescribed diets and the food items designated by the menu. They decide what food items to serve for the most common diets when the diet card identifies only the kind of diet called for, such as a liquid diet or diabetic diet. They set up their assigned station on the tray line with the correct supplies and food items, and break down and clean the station after the serving period. Some workers deliver trays to the patient bed and repost the patient comments and complaints to the supervisor or dietitian.
