  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INGREDIENT-PRODUCT LINKING AND UNIT CONVERSION
    Publication number: 20260244639
    Abstract: The system for menu optimization utilizes various models and modules to streamline the process of menu planning and management. It incorporates an ingredient-product linking model, a unit conversion model, a nutritional module, and an optimizations model to process menu data and generate recommendations. The system may determine replacement recipes based on nutritional similarity, recipe affinity, and tag-based filtering, while considering costs. By leveraging these components, the system may provide efficient and accurate menu recommendations that balance nutritional requirements, dietary restrictions, cost considerations, and ingredient availability.
