Meals¶
The Meals application organises the home’s catering: the menus of each day, the dishes and their nutritional values, the diets, allergies and textures of each resident, the meal round, the nutritional follow-up and hydration, through to the family portal and the menu displayed in the dining room.
The dashboard¶
Meals → Dashboard shows the day’s menus as cards, one column per meal type (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner). Each card gives the menu status, the number of dishes, the number of dietary alerts and the progress of the service (served / total).
Create Today’s Menus creates the missing menus of the day, one per meal type.
Alerts opens today’s dietary alerts.
On a card, Confirm confirms a draft menu, Couverts opens the places laid for that meal, and Complete marks the menu as served.
