Insulin timing with "room service" meal tray delivery model

We are currently performing an FMEA on change to a room-service food tray delivery model and impact on medications that are timed with food (most obviously insulin).

Looking to determine how other organizations have handled/adapted to scheduled insulin administration times & documentation when meal trays are delivered via a room-service model where meal times are no longer standard.

Thanks!
