ServeSmart vs Insulated Trays — Savings Calculator
Carts are sized to serve one meal to all inmates (meals served = inmates). Initial SmartTrays to fill carts are free in full cases of 12 (JZH-54-RH ⇒ 60 trays, JZ-6UBT-RH ⇒ 96 trays). The initial SmartTray target equals (Trays per Inmate × Inmates); free trays count toward this target and any shortfall is purchased up-front in cases of 12. Yearly SmartTray replacement is costed at 10% of (Trays per Inmate × Inmates), rounded to cases of 12.
