About Us

A tradition of innovation in healthcare meal delivery.

For 40 years, Aladdin’s customer-driven innovations have led healthcare foodservice to new heights of quality, efficiency, safety and patient satisfaction. Our breakthrough technologies make meal delivery more efficient for foodservice operations, and mealtime more enjoyable for everyone.

When Aladdin invented the insulated tray in 1968, the dream of keeping patient meals at the proper temperature became a reality. In 1978 Aladdin introduced Temp-Rite^® II, the first rethermalization system designed to heat meals in a refrigerated environment. In 1988, after extensive research and development, Aladdin created Temp-Rite^® II Excel, a radically new conduction system that features a round-dish meal service. Excel is still the most popular Cook-Chill system in the United States.

Aladdin revolutionized meal assembly traylines in 1995 with our patented Heat On Demand^® induction technology, and in 2004 applied this technology to the creation of Heat On Demand^® On Tray^™, the first meal delivery system with the heat source built into the tray.  Today, Heat On Demand^® has become the system-of-choice for room service applications.

In 2003 Aladdin’s continued focus on listening to customers led to the development of Convect-Rite III ^®, an advanced Cook-Chill convection system that enables precision rethermalization of hot foods while cold foods remain chilled, all on the same tray.

To answer the increasing demand for better choices in meal delivery and presentation, Aladdin has developed solutions for every foodservice application. Varied applications and requirements call for specific solutions.  We’ve been the world leader in healthcare meal delivery for over 40 years, and it’s really no secret why: We listen to our customers!
