## Description

Managing food quantities for large groups is a math problem that shouldn't eat up your time. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a precise catering assistant. Instead of manually calculating grams or portions, you can ask your agent to check if you have enough pasta for 50 people or how much chicken will be left over after a wedding dinner. It bridges the gap between your raw inventory list and the actual needs of your event. You can use it to audit your current stock, validate that you won't run out of a specific dish, or pull a complete report on expected leftovers to plan for future meals or donations. It turns your inventory data into actionable planning intelligence.
