Tenants can RSVP for upcoming meals from their portal. This determines their food bill at month-end for per-meal plans.

How tenants RSVP 1. Tenant opens their Homly portal (link sent at onboarding — no app download needed). 2. They go to Food and see the upcoming meal schedule. 3. For each upcoming meal (before the RSVP cutoff time), they can tap "Attending" or "Skipping."

Tenants can also RSVP via WhatsApp if the menu broadcast is enabled — they reply directly to the daily menu message.

RSVP cutoff After the cutoff time (set per meal slot, default 2 hours before serve time), the RSVP is locked. You can override it manually from the admin dashboard if needed.

How billing is calculated At month-end, Homly generates a food invoice line for each subscribed tenant:

• Flat plan: charged the full monthly amount regardless of attendance.
• Per-meal plan: charged only for attended meals. Skipped meals (RSVP'd out) are deducted automatically.

Generating invoices Go to Food & Meals → Billing → Generate. Select the month. Homly generates invoice lines for all active subscriptions. The amounts appear on each tenant's payment record.

Viewing the food dashboard The food summary at the top of the Food & Meals section shows: - Active meal slots today - Active subscriptions - Total billed this month - Number of low-rating alerts (meals rated 1–2 stars)
