  • Publication number: 20230008912
    Abstract: A server as an example of a menu recommendation system includes an evaluator, a processing unit, and an actual usage record acquirer. The evaluator recommends menus for a target period. The processing unit presents the menus recommended by the evaluator to a user. The actual usage record acquirer acquires, from the user, an actual usage record of the menus recommended by the evaluator at an arbitrary timing in the target period. When a difference occurs between first information regarding content of the menus recommended by the evaluator and second information regarding the actual usage record during a period from a start of the target period to the timing, the evaluator performs reward processing of rewarding the user according to the difference or re-recommendation processing of re-recommending menus for a remaining period by changing the content of the recommended menus.
