Project Overview
As implied by the name, the project’s primary focus is food. In essence, it was created for the client, who can think of the project as a company that operates several restaurants under franchise agreements. These companies now have several camps scattered throughout the city, and they cook meals specifically for the number of people residing in each camp.
Because of the way the system is designed, users have the following flexibility:
- Rights can be granted to users for individual restaurants (many users can manage numerous rights for multiple restaurants).
- Keep track of the ingredients and prepared food inventory.
- Determining a recipe’s nutritional values and allergies based on the items that are added while cooking.
- Overseeing Recipe Production and Servings.
- The system’s built-in food planner allows users to arrange their meals, indicating which dishes should be served, when and where.
Key Challenges
- Inventory Optimization Managing ingredient inventory across multiple restaurants, predicting usage, and preventing shortages is challenging.
- Recipe Standardization Ensuring consistent quality and taste across various locations with different chefs and cooking staff is difficult.
- Allergen and Nutritional Transparency Providing comprehensive allergen and nutritional information for menu items is a regulatory and customer transparency challenge.
- Meal Planning and Efficiency Organizing meal plans for specific locations, times, and meal types while efficiently managing kitchen operations is complex.
