Episode 3
Monday, 2 February, 2026
Our second episode on 2026 trends features the operators perspective, as Aaron sits down with John Tolbert, Associate VP of Culinary for Sagora Senior Living, to unpack 2026 food and hospitality trends. They dive into leveraging GPOs and POS technology to fight inflation, cut waste, and boost revenue while still delivering restaurant-quality, home-style comfort food residents love. From personalized menus built on resident preference data to bistros, room service apps, and “high tech, high touch” service models, this conversation shows how modern senior living communities can elevate both experience and efficiency. Aaron and John also explore wellness-focused menu design, “stealth health” recipes, and flavor-forward nutrition that keeps residents happy, healthy, and engaged. It’s a must-listen for senior living leaders, culinary directors, and hospitality teams.A special thanks to Ben E Keith Foods for hosting this episode in their corporate recording studio in Fort Worth!Tips from Trestle is sponsored by:eMenuChoice: https://bit.ly/TFT_eMenuWiseOx: https://bit.ly/TFT_WiseOxBen E Keith Foods: https://bit.ly/TFT_BEKAdvantageTrust GPO: https://bit.ly/TFTAdvTrust#TFT503 #SeniorLiving #SeniorLivingDining #FoodAndHospitality #SeniorLivingLeadership #CulinaryInnovation #ResidentExperience #WellnessThroughFood #SeniorDining #HighTechHighTouch #POSforDining #HospitalityMatters #BoomerGeneration #MenuEngineering #GPOstrategy #HealthyComfortFood
