Measure what people actually consume
Skeal turns photographed meals into useful data for collective-catering teams. The solution helps teams understand what is served and consumed, identify dishes that are enjoyed or left aside, and measure food waste more accurately.
Designed to fit existing organisations, Skeal supports hospitals and clinics, care homes and senior living, and school canteens. A standard tablet or smartphone can be used to capture meals; the resulting information can then help teams monitor and improve their services.
Consumption data can help teams compare dishes, menus, services and units. It gives them practical information to spot differences between planned and consumed meals, understand leftovers and inform discussions about portions or menu choices. Skeal combines a capture app with a review portal, connecting observations made during service with a broader view of operations.
Implementation can start with a scope that fits the establishment and then be adjusted to the teams’ needs. This approach is relevant to healthcare organisations, senior-living residences and school catering services, with dedicated pages describing each setting. The public website explains Skeal’s commercial offer; the team can answer questions about how it may fit a specific organisation.

An approach for each type of establishment
Needs vary with the setting and the way meals are served. Hospital teams can monitor tray meals, senior-living teams can better understand residents’ meal patterns and preferences, and school catering teams can observe consumption and leftovers. The scope can be adapted to each site's units, menus and operating model.
