Local - Meal Register

Meal / Dinner registers are not available via the third party APIs.  TIs wishing to use this feature would need to use DRAS 'Date Range and Scope' which underpins the SIMS implementation.

This can be slow when used in a manner that is different to how it flows within the SIMS application. 

[That was the major reason for the provision of the third party apis in this section of the code.
