Since our beginning, DFM has been recognized as a leader in providing state-of-the-art software solutions for healthcare food and nutrition services and cafeteria point of sale operations throughout North America.
Our mission is to develop a comprehensive, cost-effective software system that improves all facets of food and nutrition services operations, and to complement each system with superior support and customer services.
DFM Technologies, Inc. was acquired in 1982 and relocated to Des Moines, Iowa, where the development of The Dietary Food Management (DFM) System began. Although our company pursued other ventures and developed successful new business operations over the decades, our commitment to the healthcare food service business operator has remained steadfast. Today our dietary food management software systems are used at hundreds of locations throughout North America to manage daily food and/or nutrition service operations.
The guiding principle behind the design of our systems is that the software should adapt to the user, not the user to the software. With adaptability and ease of use in mind, DFM strives to minimize data entry and manual communication, employing such technology as electronic interfaces to other information systems, optical scanning and portable PCs for patient menu selection entry, touchscreen point of sale registers, and bar code readers, to name a few. The DFM System is easily learned by those with little or no computer experience.

Every year American healthcare institutions spend millions of dollars on the nutritional care and feeding of patients, visitors, staff and others. All too often, many of these dollars are wasted due to inefficiencies in production, repetitive labor tasks, and inaccurate reporting mechanisms. Many administrators look at the institution's dietary/food service operation as a necessary but costly department.
The DFM System embodies a comprehensive approach to dietary food management that allows you to plan and control all aspects of your operation - from food production, inventory, purchasing, and cost control to effective patient menu management, cafeteria retail sales and clinical nutritional analysis. The System also provides a variety of management reports to show where your dollar is being spent and how it can be spent more effectively.
The DFM System was designed for you by food service professionals and registered dietitians. The guiding principle behind the System's design is that the software should adapt to the user, not the user to the software. Customization tools give you the flexibility to tailor the System to your unique requirements in a fast, efficient, and affordable manner. People with no previous computer experience can easily use all DFM System applications. The DFM System is installed throughout North America in hospitals and long-term care facilities of all sizes.
