The business hours management unit 1032 provides meals for fixed time periods and special occasions. The dish management unit 1033 labels the source of purchased dishes and conducts inspections, as well as analyzing the nutritional content of purchased dishes.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the dish management unit 1033 is used to include quality monitoring 10331 and menu nutrition design 10332.

[0036] Among them, quality monitoring 10331 is used to trace and inspect the procurement of dishes, and menu nutrition design 10332 is used to reasonably match various ingredients and generate recipes.

[0037] It should be noted that quality control (10331) involves formulating suppliers and prices for purchased food, and prohibiting high-risk ingredients. Menu nutrition design (10332) involves pairing dishes with grains, proteins, fruits, and vegetables, and dynamically updates the menu every Friday to announce the next week's menu. Special marking is also provided for small groups of people, such as those with diabetes, with special small portions provided.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, quality monitoring 10331 includes procurement traceability unit 103311, procurement acceptance unit 103312 and safety and sample retention unit 103313.

[0039] Among them, the procurement traceability unit 103311 is used to identify the suppliers and prices of purchased food, the procurement acceptance unit 103312 is used to inspect and accept purchased food, and the safety and sample retention unit 103313 is used to process and retain samples of purchased food.

[0040] It should be noted that the procurement traceability unit 103311 marks the suppliers and prices of purchased dishes and makes them available for consumers to inquire.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the meal ordering and reporting module 104 includes a multimodal meal ordering unit 1041 , a personalized recommendation unit 1042 and a smart food cabinet allocation unit 1043 .

[0042] Among them, the multimodal ordering unit 1041 is used to identify personal identity information, the personalized recommendation unit 1042 pushes personalized menus to the individual based on the personal information, and the smart cabinet allocation unit 1043 uses the smart cabinet to make reservations for meal pickup.

[0043] It should be noted that the multimodal ordering unit 1041 allows consumers to place orders offline using facial recognition. The personalized recommendation unit 1042 then recommends dishes to consumers based on their past preferences. For consumers who place orders online, order in advance and support takeout, the smart cabinet allocation unit 1043 works with a mobile app to store food in a smart cabinet.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the employee benefit module 105 includes a personalized benefit unit 1051 and a points unit 1052 .

[0045] Among them, the personalized welfare unit 1051 automatically issues customized coupons based on consumption frequency and health needs, and the points unit 1052 is used to settle the consumption amount and accumulate points.

[0046] It should be noted that the personalized welfare unit 1051 described in this embodiment provides different welfare benefits to consumers according to their consumption frequency and health needs, such as fitness subsidies or supermarket consumption cards and birthday gifts.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the personal center 106 includes a digital nutrition analysis unit 1061 and an intelligent reminder unit 1062 .

[0048] Among them, the digital nutrition analysis unit 1061 is used to analyze the nutritional components of the ingested food, and the intelligent reminder unit 1062 is used to timely remind the intake of excessive ingredients based on consumption records.

[0049] It should be noted that the digital nutritional analysis unit 1061 uses plate image recognition to capture the consumer's selected meal with a camera, analyzes the nutritional content of the meal, and generates a report that is sent to the consumer via their mobile phone. The intelligent reminder unit 1062 analyzes the consumer's consumption history and previous meals to determine the nutritional content of the consumer's intake, alerting the consumer if any nutrient intake exceeds the standard.

[0050] Specifically, the canteen management operating system operates as follows: based on historical consumer data, consumer demand is predicted through the cloud. Menu generation unit 1011 generates dishes based on the number of orders placed by department or company, or the number of people ordering. Different groups of people can then select dishes through group meal display 1012 and individual meal display 1013. Menu query unit 1014 supports monitoring based on data such as dish names and nutritional labels, and consumers can provide feedback to the restaurant through feedback module 102.

[0051] Consumers can submit applications online through the private room management unit 1031 in the canteen management module 103. The system dynamically allocates private rooms and associates the fees used. Business hours management unit 1032 allows for settings based on different consumer groups. The dish management unit 1033 primarily uses the procurement traceability unit 103311 in the quality control unit 10331 to note the supplier and price of the dish. Subsequently, multiple staff members are required to be present for inspection and acceptance. The procurement and acceptance unit 103312 records the inspection and acceptance through video recording, and the safety and sampling unit 103313 stores samples of both the original and cooked dishes.

[0052] Consumers use the meal ordering and reporting module 104 to support facial recognition devices, and the multimodal meal ordering unit 1041 calls the consumer's archived information to make personalized dish recommendations to consumers based on their previous consumption and frequently selected dishes. Consumers make online reservations and orders, and the restaurant places the prepared meals in the dining cabinet. When consumers pick up their meals, they scan the QR code, use facial recognition or verification code on their mobile phone APP to pick up their meals. The employee welfare module 105 issues fitness subsidy coupons or birthday gifts based on the frequency of employee consumption and the meals they frequently purchase. The personal center 106 analyzes the nutritional components of the food selected by consumers in a timely manner and generates reports for consumers to view in real time. It also provides timely reminders when a certain component exceeds the standard based on the nutritional components consumed by consumers.

[0053] In summary, the canteen management operating system and method of the embodiments of the present invention have produced significant beneficial effects in improving operational efficiency, ensuring food safety, optimizing user experience, promoting nutrition and health, realizing refined management, and providing technological advancement.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it will be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations on the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and deform the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
