35 events,According to Technomic, 80% of healthcare operators have innovated their menus in the last year. However, growing a healthcare foodservice program can mean many things, from implementing nutritious dishes to adding an extended à la carte menu. Find out how real-life operators innovate their menus and deal with everyday challenges in this upcoming online event: Elevating Healthcare Dining: From Kitchen to Patient & Beyond. For On Demand Access to this webinar contact Matt Webber MattWe@alto-shaam.com 262-251-3800 Know nothing about fans? Perfect! We’ll cover the most fundamental topics like pressure gradients and the fan laws to build your understanding of both Axial and Centrifugal fans. Don’t worry, we make it fun with lots of demonstrations and animations, while tying some of these concepts to the early days of aviation and even cows. Yes, cows. Fans excel at one simple job: moving air. Yet, most people don’t really know how they do so, and that’s ok! But if you’re not most people and want to learn about these neat machines, you’re at the right place.
