Meals in a residence¶

A resident of a residence lives at home: they eat in their flat unless they come down to the restaurant. The Meals application serves them like any other resident, but only for the meals they take here, and the meals served are billed with the month.

1. Link each meal type to a product¶

In Meals → Configuration → Meal Types, fill in Billed in serviced living as for each meal type a resident of the residence may pay: lunch, dinner… The product carries the price, the VAT and the income account. Leave it empty for a meal type that is never billed.

2. Say which meals the resident takes here¶

On the resident’s record, fill in Meals taken here with the meal types they take at the residence. The rest of the time, no couvert is laid for them.

3. Serve the meal¶

Nothing changes for the kitchen and the floor: confirming the menu lays the couverts of the day, and the meal round records who was Served. See The meal distribution round.

Nobody asks how much a resident of a residence ate, unless the residence follows their care.

4. Bill the month¶

At the month’s generation, the meals Served during the month are billed on the resident’s invoice: one line per meal type, with the number of meals, at the price of the meal type’s product. See Billing a residence.
