Abstract: Quality Nutrition services at the hospital will help speed up the patient's healing process, which means also shortening the length of hospitalization days so as to save on medical costs. The Nutrition Installation is in charge of receiving patient order data, recapitulating it, and then making recapitulation results based on the order data. This creates a problem because the use of paper to record patient data in each room is of course too much, not to mention the distance between the room and the nutrition office which is far away and the data recapitulation process takes a long time. Based on these problems, a desktop-based food ordering application was created which can be an alternative for nurses and nutrition workers in ordering patient food every day. The general objective of this research is to develop a web-based information system in the hospital. The type of research carried out in this research is the Mix Method, which is a research model that is simultaneously practicing and theorizing, or combining theory as well as implementing practice. Qualitative research is used to design SI food ordering inpatients. While quantitative research is used to evaluate SI and quality of information using the waterfall method. The method used in this research is a waterfall. The application is made using the Visual Basic programming language. Net Database and SQL Server. The desktop-based food ordering application at Ken Saras Hospital is tested using the black box method and provides a statement in the form of a questionnaire to the research subject, namely dmin , nurses, and staff as app users. The results of this study are an application that features food ordering, order recapitulation, changing the application background, and setting database connections. The results of the questionnaire conducted show that the system is feasible to use with an average of 76% Interpretation Percentage. Suggestions for research, monitoring and evaluation of the system can be carried out periodically, so that problems and obstacles in the system can be immediately known and resolved and system testing is needed based on user acceptance of the new information system.
