The blockchain module (103) immutably records procurement, preparation, and distribution events, ensuring secure, transparent traceability and compliance. Stakeholder application interfaces (104), including a mobile application, kitchen display, payment gateway, and web portal, deliver actionable insights and real-time control for students, staff, and administrators. By combining these features, the system reduces food waste, enhances efficiency, and increases sustainability in institutional food services, offering a scalable, transparent, and adaptable solution for educational and organizational environments."
