The seating systems comprise a seat module and a seat track assembly comprising a plurality of seat-receiving regions, a seat track, and an electrical distribution system. The electrical distribution system comprises a plurality of track electrical contacts disposed along the seat track in the seat-receiving regions. The seat module comprises a base coupler configured to couple with the seat track at any seat-receiving region and a seat module electrical system having a seat electrical contact. The base coupler and the seat track are configured to position the seat electrical contact in connection with the track electrical contact of any seat-receiving region to which the base coupler is coupled. The methods comprise coupling the base coupler to a seat-receiving region, which comprises forming a connection between the seat electrical contact and the respective track electrical contact of the seat-receiving region, and providing electricity to the seat module via the electrical connection.

A meal packaging and presentation system includes a base, a front panel connected to the base at a low front edge seam, a first side panel connected to the base at a first low side edge seam, a second side panel connected to the base at a second low side edge seam, a rear panel connected to the base at a low rear edge seam, a first top flap connected to the first side panel at a first top side edge seam, a second top flap connected to the second side panel at a second top side edge seam, a front top flap connected to the front panel at a top front edge seam, and a rear top flap that connects to the rear panel at a top rear edge. An interior meal chamber is formed between the base, the front panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the rear panel, the first top flap, and the second top flap when the system is in a closed state. The system is configured to transition between the closed state and an opened presentation state through manipulation of the front panel, the first side panel, the second panel, the rear panel, the first top flap, the second top flap, the front top flap, and the rear top flap.

A support surface assembly includes a housing including a chamber and an opening. The support surface assembly also includes a support surface retractably coupled to the housing between a deployed position and a stored position. The support surface includes a plurality of slats pivotally coupled together, wherein each slat comprises a first end opening and an opposing second end opening. The support surface assembly also includes a plurality of rods associated with a corresponding slat of the plurality of slats. Each rod is positioned entirely within the first end opening of a first slat in the stored position and each rod is positioned partially within the second end opening of an adjacent second slat in the deployed position.
