Digital Meal Ordering System for Hospitals
Inpatients order personalised meals directly from their bedside — with automated dietary safety, allergen flagging, and seamless EMR integration. Nursing staff save valuable time for patient care.
Challenges in Hospital Meal Service
Hospitals face unique demands in patient nutrition: high patient turnover, complex dietary requirements, strict hygiene regulations, and pressure to reduce costs while improving patient satisfaction.
Paper-Based Meal Ordering
Traditional paper menu cards cause high printing and staffing costs, are error-prone, and often reach patients too late.
Dietary Compliance
With an average of 15-20 different diet types per hospital, manually checking every order is time-consuming and risky.
Missing EMR Integration
Without connection to the hospital information system, nutritional data must be transferred manually — a frequent source of errors.
Sajaam Solves These Challenges
Our digital meal ordering system was built specifically for the requirements of acute-care hospitals.
Automated Allergen Flagging
Every meal is automatically checked against the patient's allergen and dietary profile. Conflicts are detected before the order reaches the kitchen.
EMR Integration via HL7/FHIR
Sajaam integrates seamlessly with leading hospital information systems. Patient data, dietary requirements, and admission details are synchronised automatically.
Ward-Level Menu Control
Each ward can receive its own menus, ordering windows, and dietary rules — centrally managed from a single dashboard.
Real-Time Kitchen Analytics
The kitchen receives orders with full preparation details, portion sizes, and allergy alerts in real time.
Savings for Your Hospital
A typical 500-bed hospital can save significantly by digitising meal ordering: no more printed menus, less staff time on order collection, reduced food waste, and lower error rates in dietary compliance.
