MealSec AI is planned and not yet available. Examples on this page use illustrative data to show how it is designed to work. The data it will use—Meal Programs, demand, serving, charges and payroll—is being collected in MealSecretary today.
It reads authorized MealSecretary data, answers questions in plain language, explains forecasts and anomalies, recommends actions, and can prepare drafts—such as a purchase requisition—for an authorized person to review and approve.

What data it uses
MealSec AI works on the same authorized records as the rest of MealSecretary, so answers can cross departments without exporting anything.
Capabilities
Each capability states the data it uses, the questions it answers and the kind of output it produces.
Combines historical participation, day of week, Meal Program, shift, attendance, leave, pauses, additional orders, holidays, events, seasonality and location—and explains the factors behind each recommendation.
Uses authorized demand, recipes, kitchen capacity, historical yield and production performance.
Compares usable stock, expected usage, confirmed incoming supply and safety stock.
Demand forecast + menus + recipes + inventory + incoming supply + stock rules = procurement recommendation. MealSec AI may prepare a draft Purchase Requisition; an authorized user reviews and approves it.
Analyzes nutrition, ingredient availability, allergens, dietary requirements, food cost, waste, recipe history and kitchen capacity. Output remains a recommendation.
Follows forecast → commitment → production → serving → consumption → waste to find where variance occurs.
For foodservice providers serving many clients across kitchens and routes.
Subject to authorization, helps users and professionals understand intake trends, nutrient patterns, meal consistency, consumption changes and menu nutrition. It remains decision support and never diagnoses disease or prescribes clinical treatment.
Surfaces risk patterns such as repeated temperature deviations in a cold room, repeated rejected deliveries from a supplier or recurring corrective actions in a kitchen. It never declares food safe where deterministic controls or authorized verification are required.
Example
Every number in a recommendation comes from records you can open: usable stock, expected usage from the menu and forecast, confirmed deliveries and your safety-stock rule. The suggestion becomes a draft requisition only when you ask, and a purchase only when someone authorized approves it.
Import Assistant & Document Intelligence
The Import Assistant suggests how your spreadsheet columns map to MealSecretary fields, shows its confidence and asks you to review uncertain mappings. Imports can include employees, students, patients, foods, recipes, suppliers, inventory, cards and Meal Programs.
Future Document Intelligence will extract structured information from supplier invoices, purchase documents, delivery notes, food and nutrition labels, product specifications and inventory sheets. Extracted information is validated before it becomes authoritative data. Planned

Permissions
