The Only POS Built Specifically for Senior Living—Not Adapted from Restaurants
Restaurant point-of-sale systems can't handle meal plans, dietary restrictions, EHR integration, or complex senior living billing. eMenuCHOICE was designed from the ground up for IL, AL, MC, and SNF.
Trusted by leading senior living operators
Restaurant POS vs. Senior Living POS
Generic restaurant systems force you to work around their limitations. eMenuCHOICE is purpose-built for senior living from day one.

What Operators Say After Switching
Real feedback from senior living leaders who moved from restaurant POS to eMenuCHOICE
"Staff love it—they're mostly teenagers or college-aged, and they are so accustomed to technology that it's easy for them. The resident photos means that new staff members aren't going to confuse the four Mrs. Joneses who live in your building."
Daniel Novak
Corporate Director of Food and Beverage
All Seasons Senior Living
"It was a win-win. Staff really liked the tech and the table-side iPads entering their orders. No longer did we have servers standing behind a kiosk to enter orders so it created efficiencies. And furthermore, the residents felt the efficiency and the speed in getting their meals."
Kari Stolz, RD, LD, LALD
National Director Food, Beverage & Procurement
The Waters Senior Living
"We were looking for a solution to our billing problem and something to help us navigate allergens and different diets, with all data in one location. We started small with a handful of buildings; as we've grown and our needs have grown, eMenuCHOICE's capabilities have grown as well."
Marc Weber
Regional Culinary Consultant
Ebenezer Senior Living
"We were not able to track anything in the cafe with our old system. There was a disconnect between the kitchen supply people and the servers who were throwing away expired product. There wasn't any way to manage that. So we've seen a lot of savings that way, just by running reports out of eMenuCHOICE."

Yes. We'll migrate your current menus into eMenuCHOICE during onboarding. You can also use our optional seasonal, dietitian-approved menus with fresh-ingredient recipes if you prefer.
Implementation timelines vary by community size and time of year—typically a few months. We prioritize doing it right over doing it fast. We handle EHR integration, menu setup, staff training, and resident data import. Our team works with you every step of the way.
eMenuCHOICE is cloud-based and works on iPad tablets (we recommend iPad Mini for servers). If you have existing tablets, we can likely use them. We'll provide hardware recommendations during your demo.
Absolutely. eMenuCHOICE supports unlimited venues with venue-specific menus, pricing, hours, and reporting. Many communities run 3-4 dining concepts on one system.
