Context

The world of food is more competitive than ever with diverse menus and specialty recipes, managing all that ingredient data is a huge hassle. Menu and recipe data comes in all kinds of forms, for the Foodini dietitian, onboarding even a simple restaurant could take at least two days of painstaking manual work. In order to scale the restaurant partner reach, the new portal has to be capable of operational efficiency and reliability.

Key Challenges

  • Optimising the workflow of onboarding restaurant menu and ingredient information
  • Time wasted manually inputing restaurant details like hours, contacts, addresses, media links.
  • Existing ingredient data are under-organised and all over the place
  • Designing new UI modals to implement AI to the dietitian portal

User Needs (Dietitian)

  • Free up their time to do what they do the best - identifying allergens and analysing ingredients
  • Need for clean and minimal interfaces that take low cognitive loads to manage menus
  • Clear navigation to reach the data or pages they are looking for
  • Streamline the menu onboarding flow to reduce unnecessary mouse clicks
  • Implement features to maximise/minimise the operation panels

Project Vision

The goal is to establish a user-friendly environment where artificial intelligence efficiently analyzes the menu and ingredient information. In this setting, the dietitian plays a crucial role, taking charge of training the AI and validating its outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability, thereby providing essential support throughout the process.

The new portal empowers Foodini dietitians to seamlessly blend their expertise with AI, ensuring rapid, accurate menu data processing and classification, which directly facilitate the company’s scaling objectives.

Future Step

The US regulation on food preparation and ingredient label varies from Australia, which the dietitian portal requires additional UI to cope with extra nutritional data management.
