Simplify Future Orders with Batch Order Entry

Industry

When dining and care operations run on tight schedules, efficiency matters. FullCount’s new Batch Order Entry feature makes it easy for staff to enter and manage multiple future-dated orders for residents, all in one streamlined process.

What Is Batch Order Entry?

Batch Order Entry allows staff to create and schedule orders in bulk instead of entering them individually. It’s designed for departments that serve recurring meals or provide routine services, especially in assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation settings, where residents often follow structured dining or care plans.

With this tool, staff can quickly assign the orders to multiple residents or customers and post them for future dates, whether for tomorrow’s lunch or the entire next month’s meal plan.

Why It Matters

For many communities, the challenge isn’t offering great service — it’s keeping up with the administrative workload that comes with it. Batch Order Entry eliminates repetitive data entry, reduces the chance of missed or incorrect orders, and frees staff to focus on residents rather than paperwork.

It’s a solution that’s been highly requested by operators, and FullCount is proud to deliver it as part of its ongoing investment in simplifying daily operations for senior living communities.

How Communities Can Use It

Communities can apply Batch Order Entry across departments:

  • Assisted Living: Schedule recurring meals or special event dining charges weeks or months in advance.
  • Memory Care and Rehab: Enter consistent meal or service charges for groups of residents with similar care routines.

Staff simply select the specified resident, choose the order details, and assign a future date. The system posts the order to the selected account, automatically recording the transaction for the chosen day. The order will arrive in the kitchen on the date and time selected by the user.

Benefits for Communities

  • Saves time: No more bulky excel/CSV files or entering orders one at a time.
  • Improves accuracy: Reduces manual entry errors and ensures every resident receives the right meal on the right day.
  • Supports planning: Enables staff to prepare and manage upcoming orders weeks in advance.
  • Enhances consistency: Standardizes processes across departments, promoting smoother coordination and accountability.

Batch Order Entry reflects FullCount’s commitment to building features that work the way communities operate — practical, efficient, and built to make staff workflows easier while improving the resident experience.
