Solution
A nutrition-care platform at the resident's bedside
Blaze Tray goes beyond meal ordering: dish photos, automatic allergen filtering, IDDSI textures 0-7 and therapeutic diets (diabetic, renal, low-sodium, high-protein) are checked at the source. After the meal, the care team records how much was eaten, and the kitchen dashboard surfaces residents at risk of malnutrition.
Before / after
The kitchen has no view of what each resident actually ate — malnutrition risk is detected too late, often after an incident.
Blaze Tray links order, actual intake and nutrition-risk alerts in a single flow, visible to both care and kitchen teams.
Why this feature matters
This feature is built directly into the CalcMenu recipe and menu database. The same data serves kitchen, service, and administration—no re-entry, no paper versions.

What it gives you
Bedside ordering with dish photos
Every dish is shown with a photo. Residents living with cognitive decline or dementia can choose by pointing at the image instead of reading a written menu.
Allergen, IDDSI texture and therapeutic-diet gating
A dish incompatible with the resident's profile (allergen, IDDSI level 0-7, diabetic, renal, low-sodium, high-protein) is blocked at order time, with the reason shown on screen.
Intake tracking and malnutrition risk
After each meal, the care team logs the portion eaten (nothing / ¼ / ½ / ¾ / all / refused). Rolling averages surface malnutrition risk on the kitchen dashboard.
Family portal via magic link
Relatives view or change meal choices from a link sent by email — no account to create — up to the cut-off time set by the facility.
PDF production list by meal and portion size
The kitchen prints a consolidated list with quantities per dish and per portion size (1/1, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4), ready for mise en place.
Isolated health data, hosted in Switzerland
Resident order data (diets, allergens, IDDSI level) is special-category health data under nFADP Art. 5(c) and GDPR Art. 9. Blaze Tray runs on a dedicated Supabase project in eu-central-2 (Zürich), isolated from other BlazeIQ modules, with tenant-scoped row-level security on every table.
How it works
Resident profile configured once
Therapeutic diets, allergens, IDDSI texture and preferred language are captured in the record. The menu and the order screen are then filtered automatically at every service.
Order — at the bedside or by family
The resident orders on the tablet with staff support, or a relative amends via the family portal. Every confirmation is written to a timestamped audit trail.
Intake recorded after the meal
During the tray round, the carer ticks the portion actually eaten. Malnutrition-risk alerts appear in the kitchen before the next service.
