Key Feature Overview: #
Managing meal costs in a dormitory can be complex, but Dormefy’s Fixed Meal Rate feature simplifies this process by allowing dorm managers to set a predefined price per meal. This feature eliminates the hassle of calculating varying meal costs, offering clarity and efficiency for both managers and members. Once set, the fixed meal rate will appear on the finance section of the dashboard for both members and managers.
How the Feature Works: #
The Fixed Meal Rate feature enables dorm owners or managers to set a fixed cost per meal (e.g., $45 per meal). This predefined rate simplifies the dorm’s meal cost calculation system, ensuring consistency and ease of management. Once the rate is configured, it is displayed on both the member and manager dashboards, providing transparency and clarity.
How to Set the Fixed Meal Rate: #
- In the Dormefy Admin Dashboard, go to the Dormitory option in the left sidebar.
- Select Dorm List and find the dorm you want to configure.
- Click the Edit button for the desired dorm.
- In the settings page, locate the option to Enable Fixed Meal Rate and select Yes.
- Once enabled, a field labeled Set Fixed Meal Rate Amount will appear. Enter the predefined meal rate (e.g., 45).
- Click Update to save the configuration.
After completing these steps, the fixed meal rate will be active and displayed on the finance section of both the manager and member dashboards.
Note: #
Setting a fixed meal rate helps streamline meal cost management and ensures that members and managers always see the same consistent price for meals, eliminating confusion and manual calculations.
What happens if I need to adjust the fixed meal rate later? #
You can return to the Dormitory settings and edit the Fixed Meal Rate Amount at any time. Simply update the value and click Update to apply the changes.
Will the fixed meal rate apply to all members in the dorm? #
Yes, once the fixed meal rate is set, it will apply to all members in the dorm. The fixed rate will be displayed on both the member and manager dashboards.
Dormefy’s Fixed Meal Rate feature simplifies meal cost management, providing consistency and efficiency in calculating meal expenses for dorm managers and members alike.
