Burlodge Meal Delivery & Retherm Systems
Burlodge designs meal delivery systems for healthcare and institutional food service. The company was founded in 1984, is part of the Ali Group and has a U.S. operation in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
What a meal delivery system does
Trays are assembled in the central kitchen and travel to patients or residents in a cart that keeps the hot side hot and the cold side cold. Retherm models go further: trays are held refrigerated and the cart reheats the hot items on a timer, so meals reach the bedside at the right temperature even when service times vary.
Choosing a Burlodge system
The main decisions are the workflow (cook-serve or cook-chill), the number of trays per cart, the tray format and whether the cart docks to a powered station or carries its own heating and cooling. Floor layouts, elevator sizes and the electrical supply on each unit also shape the choice.

Questions about Burlodge
Is retherm the same as a heated cart?
No. A heated cart only keeps food hot. A retherm system holds the whole tray chilled and then reheats the hot portions on the cart before service.
Which facilities use Burlodge carts?
Hospitals, long-term care and senior living communities, and correctional facilities, where meals must travel from a central kitchen to many rooms or units.
