Yes, that's right. I think the ideal solution for most communities is to
have a "hosted" solution that just works. In such cases the hardware
(servers) and software are supported and maintained by vendors so the
customer doesn't have to worry about that part.

That's also right. The hardware hosting prices are very reasonable. Since
I'm still early on in the process I don't have hard numbers on how much I'll
charge to support and maintain the meal tracking software. More on that to
come... I'll get the demo out to you all first.
