Daily meal delivery
Residents in a care home, patients on a ward, pupils in the canteen. They're not eating a one-off order but a daily rhythm, day in, day out. Meal service is the calendar behind that: a menu that runs for weeks or a whole term, with something different on the plate each day.
From the menu for the whole term to the settlement at the end of the month.
Each day you choose what goes on the plate, along with the delivery temperature and the allergens. The menu runs as long as the period does: a week, a month or a whole school term.
A department reports what's needed. Five vegetarian, three pureed and two gluten-free for Tuesday. Wednesday standard only. Thursday two portions fewer, because two residents are in hospital. That all goes through in one go.
Up to that point, numbers can still change or a day can drop out, say up to forty-eight hours before delivery. After that it's fixed. That's the difference between hoping the numbers are right and buying with certainty.
Catermonkey reads the schedule and creates the orders for everyone eating that day. Anyone admitted, on leave or skipping a day doesn't count, so you know exactly how many portions you actually need. The kitchen gets the list per department or round.
All the meals delivered, together, at the agreed prices. If the institution pays part and the resident pays the rest, the bill splits accordingly. In a school canteen it can also work without invoices, with a balance that parents top up themselves.
This is the overview. Every part has its own page with the detail behind it.
All current periods with department, duration and status. Duplicate a menu for the next term instead of building it from scratch.
Who's eating on which day and where it goes. An admission or a week's leave, you pause without taking anyone off the list, and the numbers adjust automatically.
Filter by department or date and run it again if someone joins halfway through. No duplicate orders get created.
For the kitchen and for whoever delivers, with today's numbers, not last week's.
Weekly or monthly, all deliveries on one overview. With dozens of departments, you create and send them all at once.
Dietary needs, pureed or liquid food, allergies and where someone's staying. It stays attached to the person and shows on the list.
You assign dishes from your catalogue to the days of the cycle, with the price, the temperature and the allergens attached.
Parents top up an amount, and it gets debited from there.
“At least one full-timer a week.”
