They play a crucial role in the nutrition industry by implementing effective menu planning, managing dietary staff, ensuring compliance with food safety and sanitation regulations, and coordinating dietary services with other healthcare departments. Additionally, they are responsible for managing the budget, ordering food and supplies, and ensuring the dietary needs of all patients or clients are met. They work in various environments such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other institutions where food service is provided.
