Disrupting healthcare dining with Richard Schenkel, founder and former CEO of Unidine

Scratch menus for healthcare dining and senior living used to be a pipe dream.

On this episode of Onsite with FSD, FoodService Director’s podcast, we’re tracing that dream to reality and then into what the future might hold.

Facing a world of meat and potatoes, Richard Schenkel made his mark as founder and CEO of Unidine Corporation and Compass Community Living. He had a hand in transforming the industry, and last fall, he launched Phoenix3 Holdings LLC, a strategic growth partners for elevating lifestyle and distributive services companies in senior living, health care and B&I dining operations.

Schenkel was thinking about food as medicine before most, and this caused a true disruption in the whole market. We ask him about how he is looking to the future, what that could hold and how else he can disrupt the status quo.
