Abstract: Managing hostel food services effectively is a complex task that involves meal planning, inventory control, and user satisfaction. Traditional manual methods often result in inefficiencies such as food wastage, inaccurate inventory tracking, and limited coordination between stakeholders. MealMap is a technology-driven solution that streamlines hostel food management by integrating automated meal adjustments, real-time inventory monitoring, and a structured feedback mechanism. Through role-based access for students, kitchen staff, and administrators, MealMap ensures a well-organized, data-driven approach to food service management.
By leveraging real-time data analytics, MealMap optimizes resource utilization, minimizes waste, and enhances operational efficiency. Students can view meal plans and provide feedback, while administrators and kitchen staff can efficiently manage stock levels and adjust meal quantities as needed. The system’s structured approach improves accuracy, transparency, and sustainability, ultimately enhancing the overall dining experience in hostel environments. Future developments could incorporate AI-driven meal planning and mobile integration to further refine its impact on hostel food services.
