The MealSecretary Platform
MealSecretary is a meal, foodservice and nutrition management platform. It connects people and Meal Programs with meal demand, kitchens, serving, actual consumption, nutrition, charges, payroll, analytics and MealSec AI—so every team works from the same records.

How it works
Four questions, answered in order: who needs a meal, how food is prepared, who receives it, and what it means for nutrition, cost and improvement.

Capabilities
Twenty connected capabilities. Each one shows whether it is available today or still on the way.
People, organizations, memberships and Meal Programs: the foundation every other capability uses.
Recurring breakfast, lunch, dinner, shift, student, hostel and patient meals with days, serving windows and cutoffs.
Expected meals per program, location and day from enrollment, calendar, pauses, leave and extra orders.
Fast, controlled serving at every counter with cards, Employee IDs and authorized search.
Client organizations, Service Agreements, requirements, dispatch, delivery, acceptance, SLA and reconciliation.
Foods, ingredients, versioned recipes, dishes and menus with portions, yield, nutrients and allergens.
Production plans and batches built from structured demand, with tasks, produced quantities, yield and waste.
Ingredients, storage locations, lots, expiry, receipts, transfers, production consumption and adjustments.
Shortages become requisitions, supplier quotes, purchase orders, goods receipts and inspected inventory lots.
Configurable checkpoints from receiving to serving: inspections, temperatures, HACCP, corrective actions and incidents.
Trace backward from a person to a supplier lot, or forward from a lot to every person served.
Preparation, overproduction, unserved, plate and inventory waste by reason, program, kitchen and cost.
What was actually eaten after serving: all, ¾, half, ¼, none, custom or unknown.
Total daily intake from institutional food actually consumed plus additional food and drink, with privacy boundaries.
Profiles for nutritionists, dietitians and doctors to work with authorized client information.
Versioned meal prices and subsidies; every serve records the member share and organization share in force that day.
Charges grouped by Employee ID and payroll period, reviewed, adjusted, approved, locked and exported.
Operational reports for participation, serving, charges and payroll, plus a complete audit history.
Cross-module analytics: production variance, waste, supply chain, consumption and nutrition trends.
An intelligence layer for plain-language questions, forecasts, recommendations and controlled draft actions.
How it fits together
These relationships are why one change—a pause, a recipe update, a price change—flows correctly everywhere it matters.
How is it different?
Cafeteria software usually records a transaction at the counter. MealSecretary keeps every quantity in the lifecycle, so you can see where meals, money and food are gained or lost.
MealSec AI Beta
Because every module shares the same records, MealSec AI will be able to answer questions that cross departments—like why waste rose on Tuesdays or what to buy for next week’s menu—within each person’s normal permissions.
