SoupedUp Solutions

Purpose:

The Daily Meal Order Form has been designed for residents/patients to be able to choose their Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner meals from a paper form. The form can be printed and cut (or printed onto perforated paper) into sections to be used on trays for evidence of the orders placed.

Location: Catering > Reports > Meal Order Forms > Daily Meal Order Form

Report Filters:

The form can be generated using the following filters:

• Menu (Active or Planning Menu)
• Wings
• Residents/Patients (There is an option here to print a ‘blank’ page which has no resident data. This can be used for any new admissions that may not have been loaded into the SoupedUp yet)
• Food Textures
• Date Range

Sorting can only be performed by Wing and Bed. This report is not able to be generated by Dining Room or Table.

Report Example:

Menu Data:

Each Menu Course (e.g. Entrée, Soup, Main, Vegetable, Drinks, Dessert etc) is broken down into sections in the form. See below for some examples of this occurring at Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

The report is based solely on the meal choices in the Active or Planning menu. No breakfast information is taken from the resident profile or dietary settings. This means that all Breakfast selections need to be built into the menu, along with all selections for Lunch and Dinner.

Currently the report is designed to print all 3 meal services per resident, there is no ability to select only certain meal services.

The report can be printed for a date range or one particular day.

How to use:

Site Data:

The site information is displayed in the top section of each column. Menu Week Cycle (e.g. Week 1), Site Name and Site Logo are included along with the day of the week that has been generated and the name of each meal service.

Resident Data: The report displays resident/patient wing, room, bed location, Portion Size, Food Texture – Protein, Food Texture – Other, Allergies/Dietary Restrictions and if they resident requires their food to be cut up.

If the resident/patient has a Food Texture – Protein that is different from Food Texture – Other it will be displayed like the below example, with the Food Texture – Protein showing 1^st and the Food Texture – Other showing 2^nd.

Additional Information

Meal Blocking:

If there is a resident/patient that has an Allergen, Dietary Restriction, Food Texture or Special Diet and certain meals are not appropriate for that person, they will not appear on the printed form. This does not occur on the blank form. It is the responsibility of the person filling in the form to have an understanding of the resident/patients dietary requirements and to make the appropriate choices.

“OR” Cases:

In some areas of the order form there is an OR after a recipe/menu item. These OR’s are related to the Menu Course (e.g. Soup, Main, Vegetables etc). If the following menu courses are used, then an OR will follow the first item if there is subsequent items:

• Dessert
• Drinks
• Entree
• Fruit
• Juice
• Light Meals
• Soup

“Choose 1” Cases:

The menu course labelled ‘Main’ will apply a vertical grey text box with the label “Choose 1”

Hard Coding Cases:

Some areas of the form are hard coded and cannot be removed.

Milk and Sugar information needs to apply to the ‘Drinks’ Menu Course only. If a users has one or more drinks in the ‘Drinks’ Menu course then the below information will be automatically applied. If there is nothing selected in the Drinks menu course then the information will not appear.

Font:

The font size in the report is dynamic, meaning that the size of the font will change depending on how much data is in the menu. For larger menus the font size will decrease.
