JP6790413B2 - Menu generation system, menu generation method and menu generation program - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a menu generation system, a menu generation method, and a menu generation program.

In recent years, religions (Islam, Judaism, etc.) and food contraindications (vegetarians, etc.) have increased the opportunities for foreign tourists with specific culinary preferences to visit other countries. Such foreign tourists needed to investigate the food culture of the country they visited before traveling and to understand the dishes that they could eat. However, if the menu includes dishes that could not be checked in advance at the restaurant visited during the trip, such foreign tourists may ask the restaurant employees about the ingredients for cooking, etc. I had to confirm.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a store system in which foodstuffs that cannot be eaten by vegetarians and foodstuffs that are allergens are registered in advance as option information, and a menu with less risk is displayed for each user (customer) who uses the store. Are listed. In this store system, employees are notified when serving dishes that contain dangerous ingredients such as ingredients that vegetarians cannot eat or ingredients that are allergens, that the dangerous ingredients are used in the dishes. ..

(Overview of menu generation system 1)
The menu generation system 1 has a function of generating a menu of a restaurant, including risk information according to the degree of personal attribute that causes the inability to eat the food. Personal attributes that cause inability to eat foods are religion (Islam, Judaism, etc.) and food contraindications (vegetarian, etc.). In addition, the risk information is display information indicating the possibility of not being able to eat food for each repellent category including religion, contraindications, tastes, etc., and is, for example, numerical information, graph information such as gauges. The menu of the restaurant includes the name, genre, price, photographic image, menu attribute, risk information, etc. of each dish provided by the restaurant. The menu attributes are cooking ingredients, seasonings, cooking methods, kitchen conditions, and the like.

The menu generation system 1 stores the repellent points in association with each of the ingredients and seasonings used for cooking, the cooking method of the dish, and the kitchen conditions for cooking the dish. The kitchen condition is information about other ingredients cooked in the kitchen, other seasonings, other cooking methods, etc. For example, a dish using a specific ingredient (pork, chicken, etc.) is cooked. It is information indicating that it is a kitchen. In addition, the repellent point is that you may not be able to eat each ingredient and each seasoning for each repellent category (religion, contraindications, tastes, etc.), and eat dishes cooked according to each cooking method and each kitchen condition. It is a numerical value indicating the possibility that

The process of registering menu information by the menu generation system will be described below. In the menu generation system, the menu attributes used for processing are all or at least a part of cooking ingredients, seasonings, cooking methods, kitchen conditions, and the like.

First, the menu generation system 1 describes the character information of the menu attributes (ingredients, seasonings, cooking methods, and kitchen conditions) of the predetermined dishes from the stored menu attributes for the predetermined dishes provided at each restaurant. Accepts selection input. The process of accepting the selection input of the character information of the menu attribute is, for example, presenting the character information of the menu attribute to the persons concerned (owner, employee, etc.) of each restaurant in a selectable manner, and is selected by the persons concerned. This is a process that accepts the character information of the menu attribute.

Next, the menu generation system 1 extracts repellent points associated with the character information (ingredients, seasonings, cooking method, and kitchen conditions) of the menu attributes received for the predetermined dish.

Then, the menu generation system 1 outputs risk information based on each of the repellent points extracted for a predetermined dish. The output risk information is graph information or the like based on each extracted repellent point. The risk information output processing includes display output processing of display information such as risk information to the display device of the menu generation system 1, audio output processing of risk information to the speaker of the menu generation system 1, and terminals and the like. Data transmission and output processing of risk information to. The terminal is a mobile terminal owned by a user (customer) of each restaurant, or a menu terminal or the like which is installed in a plurality of terminals at each restaurant and the user of each restaurant orders a menu.

In this way, the menu generation system 1 outputs display information such as graph information based on each of the repellent points associated with each of the menu attributes such as ingredients, seasonings, cooking methods, and kitchen conditions of each dish. Can be done. For example, some of the same Muslims are devout Muslims who cannot eat dishes cooked with pork-based seasonings, while Muslims who can eat dishes made from pork broth. There is also. The above-mentioned menu generation system 1 makes it possible to show risk information indicating the possibility of eating each dish for each repellent category, and menu information according to the degree of personal attribute that causes the inability to eat ingredients. It will be possible to provide.
