Abstract
Abstract The current meal delivery system at The Hospital for Sick Children is a cold‐plating tray delivery system. Our goal was to determine the effect of a room service model on satisfaction, food costs/waste and macronutrient intake in an inpatient paediatric setting. A prospective cross‐sectional study of inpatients ( n = 54) was studied over 6 days, 3 days under the current system and 3 days under the pilot model. A satisfaction questionnaire was used to assess satisfaction, and tray tickets were used to assess food costs/waste and dietary intake. With room service, satisfaction increased ( P < 0.05), food costs decreased at breakfast and lunch ( P < 0.05), and reductions in waste occurred at all meals ( P < 0.05). There was an increase in energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat intake ( P < 0.05) during lunch. Piloting a room service model in an acute‐care paediatric centre resulted in increased satisfaction, improved dietary intake and reduced food costs and waste, resulting in hospital‐wide implementation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
