A smart house is usually described as an interactive house where information and communications technology is used to support the daily tasks of its inhabitants. One of the important components of a family house context is the food store-room or pantry. In a fully smart house, the pantry should also be supported by information technologies, as it happens with the others components of the house. By other means, in a fully smart house, the pantry should be smart too. In this paper we present an UML specification for a smart pantry management system. We also discuss all the process that was followed to identify the system requirements, to build the systems models and to create the system prototype. As final remarks we present some guidelines for the future development of a complete smart pantry system.
