Diabetic, soft, low-sodium, kosher, halaal, allergen-aware — all per patient, all per meal.
Same kitchen, different ledgers, different pricing, different reporting.
Tray-to-bed correlation. Audit trail of who got what when.
Cross-contamination risks, ingredient-level recall. Compliance is non-negotiable.
POPIA, NHI, ISO requirements. Data residency must be auditable.

Dietary, allergen, religious, and nutritional flags attached to the bed, not the meal.
Each tray printed with patient ID, bed, ward, and allergen panel. Scanned at handover.
Ingredient-level. A recipe change recalculates allergens for every dependent dish.
A flagged ingredient can be traced from supplier → batch → dish → tray → patient.
Data residency on infrastructure you control. No third-party AI training on patient data.
Reports that map to bed-day, ward, and clinical service line.
