The group knows how to satisfy its customers by offering a continuous improvement approach. The equipment and structure of the kitchen have been improved. Newrest has also deployed digital tools such as Display’eat, connected mats and to-do lists to prepare service. On site, an annual entertainment programme has been put in place to provide a cheerful and colourful environment for residents.
