What is student meal management?
Student meal management decides which students are entitled to which meals, how many meals each dining hall must prepare, and who was served. MealSecretary handles day students and hostel residents, term calendars, special meals and meal charges in one place.
The problem
Term calendars, hostels and special diets
Institutions juggle holidays, exam periods, hostel residents who eat three meals a day and students with special requirements—usually across registers that never agree.
- Meals cooked during holidays and exam leave
- Hostel and day-student lists out of sync
- Special meals tracked on paper
- Shared or lost meal cards
How it works
How does MealSecretary manage campus meals?
Import students with Student IDs, enroll them in programs such as Hostel Breakfast or Campus Lunch, set the term calendar and holidays, and issue student cards. Students or wardens pause meals for home visits; dining halls see the expected count before cutoff.

Questions
Can parents or wardens manage a student’s meals?
Yes. Delegation lets a trusted person act for someone else with limited permissions, and every action is recorded with who did it.
Do holidays need to be entered every term?
Add closures and holidays to the organization calendar once; meals on those days are removed from demand automatically.
Can special meals be handled?
Special meal programs can be created today. Detailed dietary attributes, allergens and nutrition arrive with the Food and Nutrition modules.
