Review of Unidine

This company is obsessed with portraying itself as...

This company is obsessed with portraying itself as excellent, and that's the job of any well-marketed organization of course. No doubt many employees work hard and do great things. The problem, however, is with the executives and leadership. There is no excellence there, only brutal cost cutting tactics and obscuring the truth about their business model. Many of their managed locations operate in near sweatshop conditions. They are purveyors of human misery.

Their purchasing methods are unethical at best. Fresh produce is what they flash during the sales pitch but what about the protiens? Much if it is frozen, likely fresh to frozen because of impending expiration. And of course, the food cost includes a kickback straight to Unidine from the purveyor- which you'll never know about. This drastically limits variety and quality. It also inflates the plate cost. It's not actually cost of food, its cost of food plus Unidine kickback.

And always remember, if you're running a nonprofit, you are taxing all of your workers and residents/guests and opening a for profit whole in your business that doesnt adhere to the same guidelines.

Buyer beware with this company. Do your research! Google and contact me for a disclosure of what this company does before you sign a contract with them.
