Overview
Grove Menus is a full menu program that helps you manage the entire process in the kitchen. Grove offers dietitian-approved menus, point of sale, tray card, price lists, production sheets and special diets all connected on one easy to use platform. The system allows you to build or customize menus to fit your unique needs.
Integration name: Grove for K4Community
Sync time: Every hour
Implementation
To enable Grove for residents to view in K4Community Plus, please contact your K4Connect Client Success Manager to get started.
Staff Experience
The Grove dashboard will remain as the single source of information. This means that K4Community acts as a pass-through of information and community staff cannot manage meal information in Team Hub. All dining changes are made in the Grove dashboard.
However, staff can manage the audience of a Grove menu in Team Hub which designates whether the menu is visible to the Resident App, Friends & Family App, and/or K4Community Voice. To edit audience details, click the edit button in the top right-hand corner of the menu and select your preferences under Audience.
Dining menus can also be shared seamlessly to residents through community signage displays and in-room tv channels using Dining widgets.
Resident Experience
Residents will be able to view dining information at various endpoints depending on what has been deployed in your community.
In K4Community Plus, residents have a dedicated section of the app for dining staff to share all dining related menus and news. Once a restaurant and menu has been created in Grove and items have been uploaded to the menu, the information and any changes made in the future will automatically be made available in K4Community Plus if the menu is published to Resident App under “Audience” (see note above).
K4Community Voice
Residents can ask Alexa for Dining information that has been published to the Voice audience.
For example:
Restaurant: Terrace
Menu: Regular
Items (for dinner): Spaghetti and Meatballs, Caesar Salad, Garlic Bread, Red Wine Blend
Resident prompt: “Alexa, what is for dinner today?”
→ “Here’s what is available at Terrace on Thursday for Dinner. For appetizers, the items are caesar salad and garlic bread. For entrees, the item is Spaghetti and Meatballs. For drinks, the item is Red Wine Blend.
K4Community Digital Signage and Direct Broadcast
Staff can schedule content to be published to digital displays throughout the community and/or to resident TVs. Dining menus can be shared dynamically using the Daily or the Weekly Dining Widgets.
