Speedy Meal Delivery and Tray Return

As more and more hospitals focus on programs to improve patient satisfaction, there has been growing interest in adopting a room service model. However, this resource-intensive program requires a larger investment. The need for a cost-efficient, scheduled and on-demand food delivery solution is greater than ever before.

Aethon’s TUG^® provides automated, cost-effective delivery of meals to patient floors and return delivery of dirty trays to food services. Regardless of when an order is placed, this automated robotic delivery system and its state-of-the art navigation technology can be summoned with the simple press of a computer key, to deliver meals (without a human escort) in a timely and accurate manner. 

With delivery of meals left to Aethon’s technology, food services staff can spend more time managing dietary needs and interacting with patients, while nurses can focus on quality patient care, which leads to increased employee satisfaction and patient outcomes. In addition, TUG allows hospital and department administrators to better manage the number of full-time employee hours needed, resulting in long-term increases in return on investment.

Empower your staff to make a difference with patients. TUG will do the rest.
