What it does

Labels print from live data

Allergen, ingredient and use-by labels pull from the same record the kitchen is cooking from, so a recipe change reaches the label without anyone retyping it. 

Texture-modified meals are recorded like any other requirement 

 Texture level sits on the order and the ticket, so the kitchen is working from a stated requirement rather than passed along at handover.

Yes. Labels pull allergen, ingredient and use-by information from live recipe and inventory data.

Texture level can be recorded against the order and carried through to the kitchen ticket. The clinical decision about a resident's diet stays with the care team and the speech and language therapist.

The change is flagged against the affected recipes so the allergen difference is reviewed rather than inherited silently.
