The questions your team needs answered

Every senior living food service intake asks these — and why each one matters.

QuestionWhy it matters
What type of facility needs this food service?Facility type tells you whether you're dealing with regulated nursing-home meal requirements or a simpler independent living arrangement.
About how many residents or clients need meals daily?Daily resident count is the core input for estimating kitchen throughput and staffing scale before you quote.
Which meal services are needed?Knowing exactly which meal services are needed, from breakfast through snacks, prevents underestimating the daily workload.
Do residents require specialized diets such as low-sodium, pureed, or diabetic meals?A yes here flags that the facility needs dietitian-level menu planning for pureed, low-sodium, or diabetic residents, not a standard meal plan.
Do you currently have an on-site kitchen and food service staff?Whether the facility already has an on-site kitchen and staff determines if this is a full outsourced contract or a supplemental service request.
Are you authorized to make food service decisions or contracts for this facility?This question carries one of the largest weight swings in the catalog, since a no means the lead needs a decision-maker before any quote can move forward.
When do you need this food service to begin?Start timeline separates facilities with an immediate staffing gap from those just exploring options months out.

Built for senior living food service workflows

Cliont capabilitySenior Living Food Service application
Conditional branchingShows deeper dietary detail questions only when a facility confirms it needs specialized diets, keeping the form short for standard meal plans.
Lead scoring engineWeighs contract decision-authority heavily, so a facility staffer without signing power scores lower than a director or administrator answering the same intake.
CRM routingSends leads with an authorized decision-maker and an immediate start timeline straight into your CRM as ready-to-quote, while 'just planning ahead' leads land in a separate nurture view.
Multi-select captureCaptures every meal service a facility needs, breakfast through snacks, in one field so your team sees the full daily workload before staffing a quote.

Common senior living food service lead scenarios

Immediate need, no kitchen staff

An assisted living facility with no on-site kitchen or staff needs full meal service starting right away, and the person filling out the form has authority to sign. The intake flags this as a full outsourced staffing job, not a supplemental one.

Small facility, fast decision

An adult day care center with under 25 clients needs a simple meal plan and can decide immediately. Small resident counts and an authorized decision-maker move this lead through quickly instead of getting buried behind larger contracts.

Large facility, complex diets

A nursing home with 76 to 150 residents needs breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, plus pureed and diabetic meal accommodations. The intake surfaces the dietary complexity so it routes to a team that can actually staff that scope.

Unauthorized inquiry

A family member or facility staffer fills out the form without authority to sign a food service contract. The intake still captures the details but scores the lead lower until an authorized decision-maker is confirmed.

Planning ahead, no urgency

An independent living community is exploring options for a future date rather than an active need. The intake routes this to a nurture queue instead of the immediate-quote pipeline, so it doesn't compete with facilities ready to sign now.

Senior Living Food Service lead-intake FAQs

How does the intake handle specialized diets like pureed or diabetic meals?

The form asks directly whether residents require specialized diets such as low-sodium, pureed, or diabetic meals. A yes answer flags the lead as needing dietitian-level menu planning before you commit to a staffing quote.

What if the person filling out the form isn't authorized to sign a contract?

The decision-authority question carries a major scoring swing between a yes and a no answer. Leads without contract authority still get captured but are routed for follow-up with the actual decision-maker instead of straight into your quote queue.

Can the intake distinguish between a nursing home and an independent living community?

Yes. The facility-type question separates nursing homes, assisted living, independent living, and adult day care centers, since each has different meal-service and dietary regulation needs.

How does this stop us from quoting an event we can't staff?

Resident count, the meal services requested, and whether the facility already has an on-site kitchen and staff all come through together, so you can size the job accurately before a quote goes out.

Does the intake account for facilities that already have kitchen staff?

Yes, one question asks whether the facility currently has an on-site kitchen and food service staff, which helps you tell full outsourced contracts apart from leads that only need supplemental service.

What happens to leads that say they're just planning ahead?

Facilities that select a future or undecided timeline are still sent to your CRM, but they're distinguishable from immediate-start leads so your team can prioritize the ones ready to move now.
