A healthcare organization in Ireland is seeking a vendor to provide catering nutrition software designed for comprehensive menu and recipe planning. The required system must support full allergen, calorie, nutritional, hydration, and dietary compliance, with seamless integration into patient meal ordering, food production, and stock control workflows.

The software should deliver end-to-end traceability from primary production to consumption. This includes the ability to rapidly identify meals by ward and bed number in the event of a food safety incident, while ensuring that no patient-identifiable information is stored. The patient meal ordering process will be modernized using bedside tablets, QR codes, and menu leaflets, offering a secure and efficient alternative to traditional paper-based systems and maintaining patient anonymity.

Comprehensive stock management capabilities are essential, encompassing supplier information, ideal stock levels, cost tracking, and stock movements. Additionally, production planning must incorporate menu cycles, production days, and the use of historical data to optimize staffing, resource allocation, and demand forecasting in healthcare settings.
