The operational model requires:

• strict hygiene and infection-prevention discipline,

• therapeutic diets (salt-controlled, protein-adjusted, medically restricted menus),

• allergen and cross-contamination risk minimization,

• standardized portioning and time-controlled distribution.

Transferability to OT: Clinical catering validates our institutional capability to manage:

• food safety and public health risks at high sensitivity,

• complex dietary requirements at scale,

• disciplined contract performance and corrective action processes,

• predictable continuity in essential services.
