Abstract
Research in the area of foodservice systems is limited. This paper provides details of the current prevalence, characteristics and popularity of different foodservice systems in Australian hospitals. The results from 90 hospitals show that the traditional cook-fresh system is still popular in Australian hospitals, with cook-chill and hybrid systems to a lesser extent. The trend of shifting away from in-house production and using external suppliers is also growing.
