Sample data
In many hospitals, meal charges are pieced together at discharge. The billing desk counts entries in the diet register, checks them against kitchen slips and adds a line to the final bill. Extras, late orders and attendee meals slip through, and a family may pay cash at the canteen with no link to the admission at all.
At month end, finance tries to match what the kitchen cooked with what was billed and collected. Without an order behind each charge, questions from patients, insurers and auditors turn into arguments about paper.
In MedMeals, a charge exists because an order exists. Invoices, settlements and reports all read from the same order pipeline.
Invoices are generated automatically from the orders placed, item by item, so every charge can be traced back to a meal.
Invoice each patient for their meals, each attendee for theirs, or a department for the orders placed on its behalf.
Patient meal charges roll into the patient's final bill, so discharge billing does not depend on a tally from the kitchen.
Settle meal charges through hospital billing, UPI or cards, whichever fits the order and the person paying.
For patients on cashless insurance, meal charges can be settled as insurance-borne instead of being collected from the family.
Attendee meals can be paid for by the attendee, by UPI or card, and settled separately instead of being added to the patient's account.
Each charge, payment and settlement is logged. Export them for finance, reconciliation and audits.
Whether it starts at the bedside, in the attendee app or at the admin desk, the order records who it is for and what it costs.
Patient meals are charged to the patient, attendee meals to the attendee, and orders placed for a department to that department.
Attendees pay by UPI or card. Patient meals can be carried forward and settled on the final bill.
Invoices list each meal and item from the actual orders, with no charges typed in by hand.
Charges settle through hospital billing, UPI, cards or cashless insurance, and every transaction can be exported for finance.
The patient view opens on orders and billing. Four figures sum up the stay so far: total orders, total billing, amount paid and amount pending. Below them, each recent order shows its payment mode, the scheduled date and time, the items and the price.
Patient billing summary with recent orders
The admin dashboard shows total revenue, total patients, total orders and average order value, with weekly, monthly and yearly views and a chart of orders by hour. Finance and F&B managers work from the same orders the kitchen cooked.

| Meal charges | Counted from registers at discharge | Built from actual orders as they are placed |
| Invoice detail | One lump sum for food | Itemized by meal and item |

| Reconciliation | Kitchen slips matched to receipts by hand | Every transaction logged and exportable |
| Pending dues | Discovered at discharge | Amount pending shown on each patient |
Invoices are produced from orders without anyone keying in meal charges, from the first order to the final bill.
Each meal ordered creates its own charge, so meals do not slip through unbilled.
Meal charges are already on the patient's account at discharge, so nobody rebuilds them from registers.
Every transaction is logged and exportable, ready for finance reconciliation and internal audits.
